GRINNELL COLLEGE SINGERS
Wednesday, March 24, 7:30 pm
Over the last decade, the Grinnell Singers have distinguished themselves as an ensemble that performs innovative and adventurous repertoire from a wide variety of choral traditions. In the last five years, they have premiered twenty choral works. In 2006, they commissioned an extended unaccompanied work from the 2005 Pulitzer Award winner, Steven Stucky.
The Grinnell Singers received a grant from the “Meet the
Composers” foundation for this commission, in a consortium of
professional choirs that included the Kansas City Chorale, the Phoenix Bach Choir, and the Seattle Pro Musica. The Singers completed a concert tour of Romania, Bulgaria, and Istanbul in March of 2006.
