The UNL Chamber Singers under the Interim Direction of Dr. Eph Ehly will perform a varied program of choral works at two of Nebraska’s premiere sites, The Holy Family Shrine near the Gretna exit (Friday, April 22, 7:30 p.m.) and the Nebraska State Capitol building (Sunday, April 24, 3 p.m.).

Included in their repertoire are “not so standard” works by traditional composers such as Hugo Distler, Verdi and Chopin, as well as, the beautiful “Vocalise” by Nebraska composer Wilbur Chenoweth for soprano solo and male chorus; “Smile” by Charley Chaplin arranged for vocal jazz by Steve Zegree; “Deep River” with Saxophonist Paul Haar; and a very unique arrangement of “Golden Boy” as performed by the rock singer Freddie Mercury and opera star Montserrat Caballé.

The University Chamber Singers, directed by Eph Ehly, are UNL’s premiere vocal chamber ensemble. A small choir of 24-28 voices, it is intended to provide the highest level of choral chamber performance experience for graduate and undergraduate singers at the Glenn Korff School of Music and throughout the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
