St. George Chamber Singers perform Bach, Brahms, and Britten in Kayenta
By Merrie Lee
Using precision and artistry in challenging harmonies, these incredible vocalists will make this a night of inspiration and celebration of Brahms, Britten, and most notably Bach, the father of music himself! The St. George Chamber Singers is southern Utah’s premier chamber choir, directed by Dr. Paul Wiens, Wheaton College professor emeritus. This select group of dedicated choral artists is committed to excellence in vocal chamber music. Their repertoire consists largely of classical a cappella music. On April 20, they will perform three major works by three exceptional composers known as “The Three B’s,” or Britten, Brahms, and Bach. They’ve also prepared a diverse selection of other pieces, which give audiences a variety of genres and composers to enjoy.
For over 40 years, Wiens has conducted notable choirs. Serving as chorus master under the baton of maestro John Nelson, memorable performances include Mendelssohn’s “Elijah,” Handel’s “Messiah,” and Brahms’ Requiem. Wiens also sang in the Atlanta Symphony Chamber Choir under the legendary Robert Shaw.
