St. Olaf Choir to perform in Brainerd Music
The St. Olaf College Choir will perform at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 26 at Tornstrom Auditorium, Washington Educational Services Building, in Brainerd.
Tickets are $18 for adults and $9 for students, and they can be purchased at the door or in advance at www.stolaftickets.com.
Founded in 1912 and internationally recognized as a creative force in the a cappella choral tradition, the St. Olaf Choir and conductor Anton Armstrong will celebrate the ensemble's heritage during an 11-city West Coast tour, preceded by shows in Brainerd and St. Cloud.
For this year's program, Armstrong looked to the past to create a program that explores the legacy of the choir through a rich and diverse array of works.
A mid-winter tour to a region of the United States is an annual tradition for the St. Olaf Choir, and each year Armstrong selects a program of classical, sacred and world music.
"This year we are touring with a program that is primarily a cappella," Armstrong said. "A full choral concert presented unaccompanied by instruments is demanding for the singers, and it's a style of performance that gave the St. Olaf Choir national prominence during its earliest years."
