FEB. 27 CONCERT FEATURES MUSIC FOR WOMEN BY WOMEN
MTSU Women’s Chorale Will Deliver Free & Open Performance

(MURFREESBORO) – The MTSU Women’s Chorale will give a free performance at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 27 in the T. Earl Hinton Hall of the Wright Music Building on the MTSU campus.
“All of the compositions on this first spring semester concert were written or arranged by women, so we have music by women for women,” said Dr. Jamila McWhirter, conductor of the chorale and assistant professor at MTSU.
“The audience will enjoy a variety of octavos from folk songs to modern selections ending with a women's barbershop selection,” McWhirter added.
The program will include Beverly Patton’s Exaudi! Laudate!; Joan Varner’s When I am Silent, Red Dragonflies, with arrangement by Ruth Dwyer and Vicki Nurre; Gwyneth Walker’s Let Evening Come; Mary Lynn Lightfoot’s How Can I Keep From Singing? and Java Jive arranged by June Dale.
“There will be something for everyone as we celebrate women’s literature by women composers,” McWhirter said.
