A combination of popular and classical choral music will be performed by OCCC choirs at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, at the Mid-America Christian University auditorium located at 3500 S.W. 119th St.
OCCC Music Professor Ron Staton directs all three choirs. The Chamber singers group is made of 25 OCCC students who audition for membership.
The Concert Choir is comprised of 37 college students. The symphonic choir features 75 voices, including students and members of the community. Members range in age from 15 to 75, Staton said.
The concert is being held off campus because the OCCC Theater is too small to hold the audience, said Rochelle Mosby, Arts and Humanities division assistant.
Chamber Singers will perform popular music including “It Had To Be You” and “If I Loved You” from the musical “Carousel,” Staton said.
The Symphonic Singers will perform the classical pieces “Gloria in Exelsis” by Mozart and “How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings” from “Requiem” by Brahms. The Concert Choir will be singing “If There’s Righteousness,” among other selections.
