I am so excited that this is the 100th post for [art]seen. To me, writing about the different art events that I go to, has helped me understand and enjoy the performances even better. Yeah for [art]seen!
So this sunday, FEb 21, the Swedish Radio choir are going to be in town. Made up of 32 professional singers and sponsored by Sveriges Radio, this choir is one of the world’s best a cappella choirs that have a very wide a cappella and symphonic choir repertoire.They are the go-to choir for all the leading symphony orchestras in the world.
This tour is led by conductor Ragnar Bohlin, a Stockholm native who also serves as choral director for the San Francisco Symphony. He is another choral legend whose accomplishments are so many that it will take a long time to list them. He is one of the best in the field today.
The Swedish Radio Choir made its UMS debut in 2001 and their rendition of Verdi’s Requiem was a great hit. This time, the program starts with the sure crowd pleaser, Alven’s Aftonen (Evening). Also on the program are many choral pieces from various composers like Mahler, Bach and Sandström ,to name a few. This will be a treat for all of you who like a healthy dose of classical music to make your day.
When: Feb 21,2010 @ 4:00 pm
Where: Hill Auditorium
Tickets at the League Ticket Office or online at ums.org.
Yours truly,
Krithika, for [art]seen
