The program will include a variety of inspiring works from a wide range of composers, accompanied by the program notes of Linda Russell. Several USM student soloists will be featured from among this select ensemble.

The musicians of the USM Chamber Singers represent the most outstanding singers at the University of Southern Maine. Chosen through a careful audition process and committed to choral excellence, these undergraduate students have accepted a responsibility for musical distinction through a focus on warmth of tone, precise intonation, and the artistry of understanding the nuance of text.

Throughout the northern New England region, the Chamber Singers have performed a diverse repertory centered on a cappella literature of the Renaissance era and the 20th century and music of various world cultures. Robert Russell is professor of music at the University of Southern Maine and music director of Portland’s Choral Art Society.

The church is at 156 High St. Tickets at the door are $6 for general admission, $3 for seniors, students, and USM alumni, faculty and staff. More information about the University of Southern Maine and the School of Music may be found at www.usm.maine.edu/music.
