Concentus Vocum and the Wesleyan Singers will perform in concert on Tuesday, April 6 at 7:30 p.m. in West Virginia Wesleyan’s Wesley Chapel.

The program will feature traditional Irish literature such as “Danny Boy,” “So, We’ll Go No More A Roving,” I Know Where I’m Goin,” “The Coulin,” The Cat’s Ramble to the Child’s Saucer,” along with several other Irish pieces. Michael McGlynn, founder and musical director of the Irish choral group Annuna, arranged several of the pieces. McGlynn and his group were the singers with the original “Riverdance” production.

The music of this concert reflects the Scottish-Irish folksong tradition of the

West Virginia and Appalachian mountains. The music speaks to the joys and sorrows of daily living and moves our spirits and hearts.

The Concentus Vocum is a select chamber vocal ensemble comprised of members of the Concert Chorale. Literature includes chamber music from the Baroque, Classical, and Modern eras, as well as genres such as Jazz and Musical Theatre. The Concentus Vocum is conducted by Dr. Larry Parsons, music professor and chorale director, and is accompanied by Jane Zopff on the harp. The Wesleyan singers are a women's choir open to all members of the College. They are conducted by music director Sarah Carr and accompanied by senior Jessica Scott.

The concert will be presented free to the public. All are cordially invited to attend.
