SUMMARY:Choir Concert: Schubert’s Mass in G Major
DESCRIPTION:The season concludes with a significant choral event as Blackburn College’s three choirs—College Choir\, Conservatory Choir\, and Community Choir—join forces to perform Schubert’s Mass in G Major. \nThis concert represents the culmination of the Music program’s renewed commitment to fostering community connections. With funding from the Illinois Arts Council\, Blackburn launched the Conservatory Choir in the fall\, offering high school students from districts without music programs a choral experience. Additionally\, the College reintroduced the Community Choir\, a reimagined version of the previously established community ensemble that had been inactive since the pandemic. While each choir performed separately last semester\, this concert marks the first time all three ensembles will unite for a major work. \nAdding to the evening’s significance\, Blackburn’s music majors will premiere their original compositions\, developed through mentorship with award-winning Nashville songwriter Dr. Kim McLean. Students composed and arranged their works for choir and orchestra\, and each will perform as the soloist on their piece—an unparalleled opportunity to gain real-world experience in songwriting and performance. \nFor additional details\, ticket reservations\, or inquiries\, please contact music@blackburn.edu.
