The concert will feature the
Wheaton College Women's Chorale. The Chorale has sung for enthusiastic
audiences in this country, Europe and the British Isles. Composed of over sixty
students representing many states and a variety of academic majors, the
Chorale's central goal is to worship God with its musical offerings, to uplift
audiences through shared ministry, and to enrich the college experience for
ensemble members.
With this in mind, the women of
the Chorale, under the guidance of director Mary Hopper, maintain a busy
concert schedule on the Wheaton College campus and beyond. We are very
fortunate to get this group to Winfield. The public concert experiences are undergirded
by a rigorous rehearsal schedule and social activities which strengthen the
bonds of friendship and fellowship in
Jesus Christ. In addition to ministry in churches around the nation and
campus appearances, the Women's Chorale has appeared in recent years at both
regional and national conventions of the American Choral Directors Association
(ACDA). Listeners far and wide have praised the ensemble for its superb
music-making and Christian witness.
