The Berea College Concert Choir and Chamber Singers will perform at locations in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia on its annual spring concert tour March 18-23. Performances are scheduled in Somerset, Ky., Oak Ridge, Lebanon and Ooltewah, Tenn., and in Chickamauga, Ga. The 60-voice choir is conducted by Dr. Stephen Bolster. Gale Heard will accompany the group on organ and piano.

Featuring a variety of sacred and secular works, the concert program will include choral music appropriate for the Lenten season and sacred works by Handel and Haydn. On the lighter side, the choir and chamber singers also will perform English Renaissance madrigals and a selection of folk songs.

Berea College's Concert Choir, formed in 1949, has for five decades performed inspirational concerts for audiences in the United States, Europe and Canada. Since 1980, under Bolster's direction, the choir has toured extensively in the eastern U.S. and during January 1994 performed throughout eastern Europe.

Bolster is professor of music and chair of the music department at Berea, where in addition to directing the Concert Choir and Chamber Singers, he teaches voice and choral conducting. Heard also is on Berea's faculty and is instructor of music.
