�鶹ӳ����ý Music faculty members David Brunner and Kelly A. Miller will lead the three choruses –  the University Chorus, the Women’s Chorus, and the Chamber Singers – in a variety of song styles, including folk, American, world, and classical.

The choruses will be joined by several guest artists. Theatre faculty member Kate Ingram will narrate a selection of readings including William Bradford’s Thanksgiving Proclamation and Pablo Neruda’s Ode to Gratitude. Tenor Jeremy Hunt will open the program with Leonard Bernstein’s “Simple Song.” Pianist Per Danielsson will be featured throughout the program. Other instrumentalists will perform throughout the concert. Dancers from Theatre �鶹ӳ����ý will also be participating in four of the pieces.

Brunner points out that the concert is “acoustically and physically immersive” and makes full use of the unique design of the chapel. The program is continuous and will last for 90 minutes, and the singers and dancers will be moving in and out of the audience throughout the concert.

Those attending are asked to bring donations of canned and non-perishable food items to benefit the community food pantry at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church.

Brunner has been recognized by ASCAP every year since 1997. The New York Times has described him as a “prolific choral writer whose name figures prominently on national repertory lists.”

Brunner has conducted seven concerts of his own works for chorus and orchestra at Carnegie Hall. Last year he conducted choirs from Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines and China. This year he conducts in Virginia, Florida, Illinois and Washington with the Northwest Bach Festival Chorus. His consortium of 13 choirs premieres across the United States, Canada and Scotland.
