Published: April 13, 2021
The Greenville College Choir (Greenville, Illinois) is pleased to announce its concert itinerary for 2011-2012. Founded in 1927 by Dr. Robert W. Woods, the Greenville Choir has attained a widespread reputation for performing sacred choral music of the highest quality. During the current 85th Anniversary year the Greenville College Choir has been invited to perform at the Illinois Music Educators Conference in Peoria, Illinois (January 2012) and the American Choral Directors Association's Central Division Convention in Ft. Wayne, Indiana (March 2012).
The Choir regularly joins with the Greenville Choral Union for concerts of larger choral-orchestral works such as Bach's Magnificat , Mozart's Requiem, and the annual Christmas performance of Handel's Messiah . In November 2009 the College Choir performed with the Boston Camerata at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. In April 2011 the Choir sang with the American Kantorei at Concordia Seminary (St. Louis).
The Greenville Choir consists of 42 undergraduate students from various fields of liberal arts and professional study, including the College's four music degree programs. As the flagship choral ensemble of Greenville College, the choir presents as many as twenty off-campus performances each year as part of its annual tour. Students' dedication to the program is consistently made evident by the professional quality of their performances .
Conductor Jeffrey S. Wilson received his Bachelor of Music degree in piano from Augustana College (Rock Island, Illinois). He earned the Master of Music degree in choral music and the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in choral conducting and literature from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Wilson became the third conductor of the Choir in 1996.
