Winter Choral Concert
Sunday, February 26, 2023
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
St. John the Baptist Catholic Church 632 South Broad Street Mankato, MN
This performance will feature the Concert Choir and Chamber Singers, led by Dr. Elisabeth Cherland, and the University Chorale, led by Ms. Abbey Guggisberg. Accompanying the groups will be pianists Ben Marti and Kyle Johnson.
The concert’s theme is “Seasons.” Though the selected pieces explore the beauty and starkness of the four natural seasons, the choirs will also express seasons of love, pain, and joy. Cherland and her students are excited to present this concert. Abigail Shogren, co-president of Concert Choir stated, “...I believe any college-age student that comes to see the concert will find themselves represented in one or two of the pieces. I know I do!”
When asked about the concert theme, Dr. Cherland explained, “...the choirs will be exploring a theme of seasons. The centerpiece for our program is Linda Palmer's arrangement of Pete Seeger's "Turn, Turn, Turn." It quotes the famous text from Ecclesiastes that lists various times of life saying, "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."
