CHORISTERS SPRING CONCERT BENEFITS BOISE STATE
SCHOLARSHIPS
The Boise Choristers, a women’s choral group, will
present “The Color of Music” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, May 21 and
22, in the Morrison Center Recital Hall. Admission is free, but donations are
accepted and encouraged. Money raised from the annual concert is used to fund a
Boise State University music scholarship. Recipients of the 2002-2003
scholarships will also perform at the concert.
Suitable for all ages, the program reflects the broad
musical interests of the group, and this year includes a selection of
sacred/classical songs, American music from the Civil War era and songs that
have a color in their title — everything from “Sweet Georgia Brown” to “Purple
People Eater.” The Boise Choristers sing under the direction of Karma
Ellsworth.
The Choristers were established around 1918 and have
performed annual concerts for more than 60 years. Their history also includes
singing as a part of the local opera chorus and traveling around the country to
entertain at the National Federation of Music conferences with which they are
associated.
For further information regarding the concert or donations
to the scholarship fund, contact Lynn Melton at (208) 939-0756.
