The Lee Singers
Lee Singers will perform a concert featuring the music they will sing during their upcoming Italy tour. The concert will take place in Pangle Hall on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
The program will include pieces by Eric Whitacre, Claudio Monteverdi, David Binion, Moses Hogan, and other composers. Music ranges from traditional spirituals to sacred choral pieces to contemporary worship songs. Several of the songs have been arranged specifically for the Lee Singers.
The Lee Singers’ nine-day Italy tour will include performances in Venice, Tuscany, and Florence, and culminate with the Singers providing service music for Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican on Pentecost Sunday (May 24).
“We are looking forward to sharing the music we plan to perform on our Italy tour with the Cleveland community, especially the four pieces chosen for Mass at the Vatican,” said Dr. Brad Moffett, associate professor of music at Lee and director of Lee Singers. “It will be a short concert full of beauty and worship.”
Lee Singers is an auditioned mixed choral ensemble of 45 vocalists and nine band members. This dynamic choral ensemble tours the United States and world, performing a wide range of musical styles including sacred choral works, praise and worship, traditional choral, patriotic songs, and gospel favorites.
