Background: |
“I chose Vivaldi’s spectacular
‘Gloria’ for the women to perform” shares
Wolverton, “to give them the opportunity to sing a major
work that is rarely sung by women only, and to perform with
a chamber orchestra. Interestingly,” he continues, ”this
performance represents an arguably more historically rendition
of the piece than is generally heard.”
The university Women's Choir is a large,
95 member, non-select ensemble that serves both music majors
and non-majors. Under the direction of Vance D. Wolverton
since 1989, the choir was selected in 1994 (Sacramento) and
1998 (Reno) to perform at the Western Division Convention
of the American Choral Directors Association and has performed
twice for the California Music Educators Association annual
conference in Ontario in 2000 and Pasadena in 2002. The choir
performs a wide variety of repertoire representing all historical
periods and styles.
The Men’s Chorus offers an all-male
opportunity for music majors and other students across the
campus to participate in this exciting vocal ensemble. Under
the direction of Jesse Knowles, the ensemble offers two campus
concerts each year. |
