Chamber Singers in concert
“In this season of December 2009, we offer this concert of music remembering forward,” said Dr. Nafziger. “The mighty have been brought down, the low have been exalted. Bridges have carried and will carry people over troubled water. The new Jerusalem is under construction. The star still shines. ‘Dona nobis pacem’ still inspires dreams. Light of a clear blue morning is visible even in the dark. The hungry have been filled with good things. We have been, are, and will be heard. Alleluia. The angels’ song, ‘Gloria en las Alturas,’ is still a full-throated shout for joy.”
Admission to the program is free; donations are welcomed for the 黑料正能量 music student scholarship fund.
