Eastern’s Choral Ensembles are hosting their concert Sunday at 4 p.m. in Dvorak Concert Hall of the Doudna Fine Arts Center. This is their first concert of the season.

Eastern has three choirs: the concert choir, the university mixed chorus and the Camarata Singers, all of which will be performing in the concert on Sunday.

Each choir sings a wide range of musical styles.

The University Mixed Chorus may be accompanied by the Eastern Symphony Orchestra for some of the songs.

“The University Mixed Chorus is an ensemble of mixed voices that studies and performs a variety of choral literature from early Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque classics to notable contemporary works and large oratorio works accompanied by the Eastern Symphony Orchestra,” said Eastern’s music department website.

All three choirs are open to students of all majors, according to the Department of Music website.

Music minors can get up to six hours of credit and non-music majors can get up to four hours of credit for being in the university mixed chorus, also according to the Music Department website.

Each choir meets multiple different times a week in order to prepare for their concerts.

This concert is open to the public.
