A cappella Choir to tour

Northwestern College’s A cappella Choir will tour and perform in churches and schools in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota March 26–29. Visit www.nwciowa.edu/choir-tour for concert times and details.

The three-part concert begins with sacred selections, including a powerful setting of “Amazing Grace.” The choir will also perform “Prayer,” which was written from a prayer by Mother Teresa.

Section two of the concert will feature virtuosic choral works, including the women performing “Eatnemen Vuelie,” a Norwegian tune from the soundtrack for the Disney movie “Frozen,” and “Blue Tail Fly,” which the men will perform. “Hee-oo-hm-ha” will feature a tenor yodeler, and “Bohemian Highway” is a musical “duel” between the alto section and the rest of the ensemble.

The concert will conclude with a selection of spirituals and gospel music as well as the choir’s traditional final hymn, “Beautiful Savior.”

The 43-member A cappella Choir is directed by Dr. Thomas Holm, professor of music at Northwestern and conductor of the Sioux County Oratorio Chorus. The ensemble has performed across the U.S. and in Europe.

The choir tour opens with a 7:30 p.m. concert at First Reformed Church in Sioux Falls on Thursday, March 26, and concludes Sunday, March 29, with a 6 p.m. performance at Sioux City’s Central Baptist Church. The ensemble will perform its touring concert in Northwestern’s Christ Chapel on Friday, April 10, at 7:30 p.m.
