Kelsey Chigas performing in Holiday concert

2010 Dec 7

Kelsey Chigas of Chicago will be one of more than 100 students, faculty and community members who participate in the Cornell Concert Choir, Chamber Singers, and Orchestra will perform John Rutter's "Magnificat," on Saturday, Dec. 11 at 7:30 p.m. in King Chapel as part of Cornell College's Music Mondays program.

Kelsey Chigas will perform in the Concert Choir/Alto II section.

The work, based on Bach's "Magnificat" in scale and dimension, was written in 1990 and uses Gregorian themes in a more contemporary harmonic language. The Choir and Chamber singers are directed by Professor Lisa Hearne of the music department and the Orchestra is directed by Professor Martin Hearne of the music department. Lisa Hearne will be the soprano soloist.

The program is free and open to the public.
