MU Chamber Choir to present concert Sunday

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Chamber Choir, under the direction of Dr. David Castleberry, will appear in concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov.15, in Smith Recital Hall on Marshall’s Huntington campus. The concert is free and open to the public.

The Chamber Choir is a select, thirty-two voice touring ensemble, performing works that span the past five centuries. Last spring, the choir gave nine concerts in six days as part of a tour to the Washington, D.C., area and was received with standing ovations at each stop. This fall’s performance will feature a cappella works by Palestrina, Purcell, Bruckner and Stanford, in addition to selections from J.S. Bach’s Magnificat and Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Refuge.” 

“I’m very excited about this concert,” Castleberry said. “The singers are enthused about the music we are performing and they have done wonderful work preparing some very challenging selections.”
