All singers with a love of the choral art are welcome!

Please join us at Reynolds Recital Hall, Marquette, MI on Saturday, April 27, 2024 at 7:30 PM and on Sunday, April 28, 2024, at 3:00 PM, for our spring concert: Divine Light: The Choral Music of Eric Whitacre.

Tickets are $15.00 for adults, $5.00 for students.
Tickets can be bought in advance through the NMU ticket outlet, or in person at the NMU Ticket office (located in the Berry Events Center). Tickets will also be available at the door prior to each concert.

This semester we are performing music by Eric Whitacre, including a piece called “The Sacred Veil.” This is a long form work accompanied by piano and cello which tells the story of Tony and Julia Silvestri’s meeting, marriage, and Julia’s diagnosis and struggle with cancer. The lyrics are written by Tony and Julia, told in their own words. This is a beautiful and powerful piece about a difficult subject. The Choral Society plans to partner with local agencies that provide support and assistance to families dealing with cancer.
