Spring Choral Concert - Minnesota Valley Men's and Women's Chorales

The Minnesota Valley Men’s and Women’s Chorales, under the direction of Steven Boehlke and Judy Sagen, are gearing up for their Spring Choral Concerts which will be presented on Friday, April 22nd at Grace Lutheran Church in Apple Valley and on Saturday, April 23rd at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Apple Valley. Both concerts begin at 7:30 pm.

These outstanding men’s and women’s choirs will perform a variety of choral repertoire including classical, spirituals, Americana, multicultural, gospel, pop and Broadway. Both choirs will also perform a medley of Broadway show tunes, which have been written and arranged especially for this spring concert. These selections will be sure to delight our audience!

As part of their ongoing commissioned composer program, the MVMC will perform this year’s premiere work, "To the Even-Song" by composer Connor Koppin. Connor Koppin is a graduate of Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. His compositions have premiered at state, divisional and national conferences across the United States. The text "To Daffodils" was written by the British poet Robert Herrick (1591-1674). Koppin is currently a choral director near Des Moines, Iowa. This is the fourth year the MVMC has commissioned a new composition for male choirs.

At the conclusion of the concert, both groups will join together as a mixed choir of 160 voices to perform two mass selections.
