3 School of Music Concerts Millikin Women s Mother s Day Concert Sunday, May 7, 2:00 pm Central Christian Church 650 W. William St. The 65-voice choir, under the direction of conductor Beth Holmes, will be honoring mothers and female mentors who have made an impact in the lives of current choir members. Mothers and mentors identified by collegiate singers will join in singing the final piece of the concert, "The Blessing," made famous by Celtic Woman. The choir has just completed their spring weekend tour, and is known for embracing diverse repertoire with a high level of choral excellence, along with a commitment to infuse each piece with emotive content. This year s concert season includes both sacred and secular works spanning centuries and genres. Two contrasting Psalm texts exhibit this flexibility, one a Classical Michael Haydn setting written in 1780 for treble boys choir in Saltzburg, England and the second recently commissioned by Professor Holmes and a consortium of collegiate women's choral conductors, by contemporary Hungarian composer, Levente Gyöngyösi. One portion of the concert develops the theme Journey and another will feature folk music from Africa, Pakistan, Bulgaria, and Turkey.
