Southeastern Choirs Fall Concert

The performance will feature a collection of choral works highlighting galaxies, celestial bodies, and the heavens.  Some well-known favorites will be offered, such as The Heavens Are Telling from Haydn’s Creation, Ride the Chariot a classic African American Spiritual by William Henry Smith, and Choose Something Like A Star by Randall Thompson.

Newer selections include a piece by Latvian composer Erik Ešenvalds titled Stars, which employs tuned water glasses played while the choir sings to mimic the “music of the spheres,” and Gai Bintang, a complex arrangement of a children’s song about reaching the stars by Indonesian composer Budi Susanto Johanes.

Along with the SE Choral Union and the Southeastern Chorale, the concert will also highlight several Southeastern music faculty, including Dr. Sunny Yun, pianist, Dr. Stella Yoon, soprano, and Audrey Lee, violinist.
