Greenville University Announces Choir’s Spring 2018 Concert Season

Published: April 13, 2021

This March, the Greenville University Choirwill perform in St. Louis Metro-East and take a 10-day concert tour to the Midwestern United States with stops in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Missouri.

After returning from tour, the Choir will present a home concert at Greenville Free Methodist Church on Sunday, March 18. The University Choir will also join forces with several area high school choirs to perform a spring concert of choral selections from diverse world cultures titled, Let All the World in Every Corner Sing on Sunday, April 29th.

In recent years the Greenville University Choir has toured Ireland (2015) and been invited to perform with the Kingsbury Ensemble (one of the Midwests premier professional early music ensembles), as well as at the Illinois Music Educators Conference and the American Choral Directors Associations Central Division Convention. The Choir regularly joins with the Greenville Choral Union for concerts of larger choral-orchestral works such as Bachs Magnificat, Mozarts Requiem, and the annual Christmas performance of Handels Messiah.

The Greenville University Choir consists of 30 undergraduate students from various fields of liberal arts study, including the Universitys four music degree programs. As the flagship choral ensemble of Greenville University, the choir presents as many as 20 off-campus performances each year as part of its annual tour. Students dedication to the program is consistently evident by the professional quality of their performance.

Conductor Jeffrey S. Wilson received a bachelor of music degree in piano from Augustana College. He earned a master of music degree in choral music and a doctor of musical arts degree in choral conducting and literature from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Wilson has served as conductor of the choir since 1996.
