In addition to the Singers, some of the world's most prestigious choral groups and conductors will also attend, including Robert Shaw, Eric Ericson, and choirs from the Soviet Union, Latin America and Africa. Noted for their vast repertoire of a cappella music, the Singers inspire audiences with programs ranging from the great choral classics to American folk songs and choral jazz. In addition, the ensemble has achieved great acclaim for its special ommitment to new music. Since he began the group 17 years ago, Dr. Warland has led the ensemble in over 400 twentieth-eentury works. The Dale Warland Singers perform an annual subscription series in the Twin Cities (ending this year on May 23 at Orchestra Hall with Dave Brubeck) and tour extensively throughout the Upper Midwest and to other parts of the U.S. The ensemble can be heard on 14 recordings and frequently appears on American Public Radio's "St. Paul Sunday Morning."
