A cappella Choir to perform at Northwestern

Northwestern College’s A cappella Choir will perform its touring concert in Christ Chapel on Friday, April 10, at 7:30 p.m.

The three-part concert begins with sacred selections, including a powerful setting of “Amazing Grace” that includes soprano solos by senior Nicole Thompson and freshman Hannah Sundet. The choir will also perform “Prayer,” which was written from a prayer by Mother Teresa.

Section two of the concert will feature virtuosic choral works, including the women performing “Eatnemen Vuelie,” a Norwegian tune from the soundtrack for the Disney movie “Frozen,” and “Blue Tail Fly,” which the men will perform. “Hee-oo-hm-ha” will feature tenor yodeling, and “Bohemian Highway” is a musical “duel” between the alto section and the rest of the ensemble.

The concert will conclude with a selection of spirituals and gospel music as well as the choir’s traditional final hymn, “Beautiful Savior.”

The 43-member A cappella Choir is directed by Dr. Thomas Holm, professor of music at Northwestern and conductor of the Sioux County Oratorio Chorus. The ensemble has performed across the U.S. and in Europe. They performed six concerts on tour in Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska March 26–29.
