On Sunday, November 8th the UT Chamber Singers, under the direction of Professor James Morrow, will perform in the Cathedral Guadalupe in the Dallas Arts District at 7:00 p.m.  The 21-voice choir will present works by Byrd, Britten, Bach and Pärt in what promises to be a stunning concert of sacred music.  The performance is open to the public, with free admission and seating on a first-come, first-served basis.

Along with their public concert at the Cathedral Guadalupe, the UT Chamber Singers will also perform outreach concerts for students at the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, and at the Cicerstian Preparatory School in Irving.

These performances are part of the Butler School’s continuing commitment to send student and faculty ensembles throughout the state, providing alumni, friends and prospective students outside of the Austin area the opportunity to experience their performances first hand.

The UT Chamber Singers is regarded as one of the premier collegiate choral ensembles North America, having been organized in 1957 by Dr. Morris J. Beachy.  Since that time they have traveled extensively throughout the United States and much of Europe, the Middle East, and South America. Now under the direction of Dr. James Morrow, the choir has released recordings on the Naxos, Koch, and Longhorn Music labels.  They are one of six choral ensembles at the UT Butler School of Music.

Dedicated in 1902, the Cathedral Guadalupe is on of the finest remaining examples of High Victorian Gothic Architechture in Dallas.  It is located in the center of the Dallas Arts District at 2215 Ross Ave., Dallas, Texas 78201.  For more information about the concert, please visit music.utexas.edu or call 512-471-7764.
