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.

The Star of the North Festival Concert Series is sponsored by the F. Melius Christiansen Endowment Fund Committee and the American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota.
