Reminding you that Pacific Lutheran University’s “Choir of the West” will be performing near you soon!

The repertoire for this year’s Choir of the West tour spans many stylistic eras and genres. You will hear premiere performances of three works:

• Exultate, by PLU choral faculty member Brian Galante;
• Northern Lights, by renowned Latvian composer Ēriks Ešenvalds, and
• Ubi Caritas, Hebu Upendo!, an exciting new piece by PLU student Julian Reisenthel.

The program features two Renaissance anthems by English composer Thomas Weelkes, two vocal quartets by Johannes Brahms, and three of the Sept Chansons by Francis Poulenc.

As always, our program will contain works from our Lutheran college heritage, including W.B. Old’s dynamic arrangement of Luther’s A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, and two hymn arrangements by F. Melius Christiansen, O Day Full of Grace and Beautiful Savior.

Dr. Richard Nance, Director of Choral Activities at PLU, will conduct the program.

Please help us spread the word about our upcoming tour. We hope to see you at one of our concerts!
