AU Choirs Spring Concert: Paradise Promised

This Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. in the Howard Performing Arts Center, the choirs of the Andrews University Department of Music present “Paradise Promised,” featuring the Andrews University Singers and Chorale in collaboration with musicians from the Andrews University Symphony Orchestra.

Through masterfully composed repertoire, nature and mankind express praise and gratitude for God’s creation and provision for His plan of salvation.  Included in the program is "Tree of Peace" by Gwyneth Walker, "Gloria Dios" by Ariel Ramirez, "A New Jerusalem Arise" by Kyle Pederson, "Sinner, Don’t Let the Harvest Pass You By" by Richard Shaffer and "Christ lag in Todesbanden" (Christ Lay in Death's Bonds) by Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach’s moving piece rejoices in Jesus’ resurrection from the tomb, assuring our salvation!  A special feature of the concert is the performance of "We Must Tell," a world premier by University Chorale member and composer Jaelah Simons.
