Come enjoy beautiful choral music at the Northern Lights fall concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, November 23 at Decorah Lutheran Church. The ensemble, composed of singers from Decorah and nine other communities, will perform a variety of music with the theme “And Nature Smiled.” This will be the first concert conducted by the choir’s new artistic director, Bethany Engen.
The choir will perform music from a variety of genres: Appalachian folk, modern folk, contemporary choral music, Broadway show tunes, and jazz. Composers include Luther College graduate and Iowa composer Allen Koepke, Irving Berlin, and Joseph M. Martin.
Julia Wharton, violin, will accompany the chorus on several folk music pieces. Northern Lights member Melanie Folkerts will also perform a G.F. Handel aria.
Intermission music will be performed by Wharton on violin and soprano soloist, Dr. Adrianna Tam, assistant professor of music at Luther College.
During intermission, a freewill offering will be taken, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Decorah Community Food Pantry.
