The URI Concert Choir, directed by Mark Conley, and the University Chorus, directed by Andrew Howell, will join forces with pianists Patrice Newman and Laura Hibbard and members of the URI percussion studio to present Carl Orff’s 25-movement masterpiece, Carmina Burana. Soloists will be soprano Erin Maughan, tenor Billy Ray Poli and baritone Devon Morin.
The concert will also feature works by Schubert, Brahms and Webern performed by the Concert Choir only. The Schubert (for men's chorus and mezzo-soprano soloist Celia Tafuri) and Brahms (for women's chorus, harp and two horns) will be conducted by graduate student Jennifer Armstrong.
