USI Chamber and Women’s Choirs Recently Perform the 2023 Spring Concert, Preview Pieces To Be Performed On The Ireland Tour

APRIL 25, 202

The University of Southern Indiana Chamber Choir and Women’s Choir, under the direction of Daniel Craig, Associate Professor of Music, recently performed their 2023 Spring Concert at Old North United Methodist Church.

This concert featured two pieces for the double choir. The first piece, O Filii et Filiae by Volckmar Leisring, is a piece for the Easter season, arranged for a choir of tenors and basses and a second choir of soprano and altos. The second work, A Hymn to the Mother of God by John Taverner, is written for two mixed choirs.

This concert also featured pieces that will appear on the Chamber Choir’s 2023 Emerald Isle tour, happening May 15-22. The Chamber Choir will be performing concerts in Ireland, including Lisdoonvarna, County Clare; Clifden, County Connemara; Kylemore Abbey, County Connemara; and at the Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin. The Choir will also partner with the Mayo All Male Voice Choir for a concert in Westport, County Mayo, Ireland.

“This choir has produced a concert of music with great blend, clarity and emotion,” Craig says. “I am proud to have them sing in some of the finest concert venues in Ireland.”
