Join the renowned University Singers as they kick off their 2025 international tour of Croatia and Slovenia with an evening of a capella choral mastery. Choral singing is a vital part of both countries, with Slovenia boasting the most singers per capita in the world as one in three Slovenians participate in choir! The tour program will include multiple sets, including the music of both countries, which will be performed in the original dialects (Slovenia has more than 95 dialects!). Another set will utilize movement and lighting to tell a story of transformation and maturation over a lifetime of learning, loving, losing and growing. The remainder of the concert will focus on a wide variety of music from Schütz to Stanford to the world debut of Richard Burchard's new composition written specifically for The University Singers. Finally, The University Singers will close the program with Americana works to share with the international audience that are always favorites.
