The
F. Melius Christiansen Endowment Fund Committee and ACDA of Minnesota
are proud to announce the 2009 Minnesota Collegiate Choral Festival!
Choirs will perform individually and as a mass choir under the
direction of Craig Jessop,
head of the music department at Utah State University in Logan, UT, and
former director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. A special commissioned
work by Eric William Barnum will be premiered by the combined choirs as the grand finale of this festival.
The festival will be held November 13-14, 2009 at Bethel University in
St. Paul. Five choirs have been selected through a blind audition
process to participate in this first-ever event.
