The Heritage Singers and Chamber Singers of Southern Arkansas University will present their spring concert, “What’s In a Name?” on Thursday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m. in the sanctuary of Central Baptist Church, Magnolia.
Admission is free, and the public is encouraged to attend.
The concert gets its title from the selection of works to be performed by the choirs. Every setting identifies a specific person, whether a Biblical character like Moses or Daniel, someone described in a song setting like Stephen Foster’s “I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,” or an arrangement of the Irish folk song, “Annie Laurie.”
The evening’s music will range from a Renaissance motet by Palestrina to a 20th century composition by Egil Hovland that depicts the New Testament story of the conversion of Saul.
Sharon Ard of El Dorado is the accompanist, and the groups are under the direction of David De Seguirant, SAU director of choral activities.
