Eric Conway: 'Meet our guest choirs for our March 3 Silver Anniversary Celebration Concert'


Eric Conway of Morgan State University forwards this release:

The Bach Concert Series' Silver Anniversary Celebration Concert Series is just days away -- on Sunday, March 3 at Chizuk Amuno Congregation. Do you have your tickets yet? The concert will be a joyous occasion of massive scope: 300 musicians will perform Beethoven's 9th Symphony, including 52 orchestra members and four world-class soloists, all under the direction of Bach Concert Series founder, Maestro T. Herbert Dimmock.
  
Joining the Bach Concert Choir at this concert will be two magnificent choirs from Maryland, the Maryland State Boychoir and the Morgan State University Choir. 

Now celebrating its 26th season, The Maryland State Boychoir under the direction of Stephen A. Holmes serves the State of Maryland as its "Official Goodwill Ambassadors." The Boychoir performs over 60 times annually throughout Maryland as well as on national and international tours. The Maryland State Boychoir is dedicated to providing talented boys with a musical education in the tradition of the great European choir schools and provides an environment that cultivates the art of choral singing. Boys in the choir are given opportunities to perform professionally and grow socially. Visit www.marylandstateboychoir.org for more information. 

The Morgan State University Choir is one of the nation's most prestigious university choral ensembles. The choral forces of this critically acclaimed choir include The University Choir, which is over 130 voices strong, and The Morgan Singers - approximately 40 voices. While classical, gospel, and contemporary popular music comprise the choir's repertoire, the choir is noted for its emphasis on preserving the heritage of the spiritual, especially in the historic practices of performance. The Morgan State University Choir has shared its musical gifts on many grand stages all over the world - with numerous dignitaries and celebrated performers - making them cultural ambassadors for Morgan State University, the City of Baltimore, the State of Maryland and the United States.
