“Singers high school age and older in all voice parts are welcome,” said Tom Wine, director of choirs and a professor of music education at WSU.

The concert, directed by Wine, will feature additional choral selections from the 20th century.

Every summer, WSU holds auditions for the WSU Summer Choir, a multigenerational choir of 80 singers, featuring high school and college students, area music teachers and retired musicians.
