Celebrate America’s 250th birthday and honor our veterans with Aurora, NMC’s treble choir formerly known as Chamber Singers. Selected from thousands of entrants to perform at the American Choral Directors Association National Conference in March, Aurora is preparing for this prestigious opportunity by sharing its music with the community. The performance will feature patriotic music, American folk songs and the world premiere of American Mosaic, a new work composed by NMC instructor Jeffrey Cobb, with text by Laura Knight Cobb. The piece celebrates three remarkable women who helped shape our nation: Sacagawea, Helen Keller and Sojourner Truth. Works by Dolly Parton, Palestrina and Brahms will also be included.
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11, in the newly renovated sanctuary at Central United Methodist Church, 222 Cass Street in Traverse City. A free-will offering will be accepted at the door.
