Emily Sievert tours with University Chamber Choir

2016 Apr 11

The Concordia University, Nebraska Chamber Choir will be performing assemblies and concerts in Fremont and Omaha, Nebraska, and Irvine, La Mesa, Lake Forest, Bakersfield and Long Beach, California, on its annual tour during the week of May 7-15, 2016.

Participants include:

Emily Sievert, a sophomore from Frankenmuth, Mich., soprano

"The University Chamber Choir exists to perform the finest sacred and secular chamber choral works spanning many centuries at a very high level of expertise, but our mission is not limited to the performance," said the choir's conductor Dr. Kurt E. von Kampen. "Beyond the desire to make beautiful music, we strive to proclaim the message of salvation through Jesus Christ in song and honor Him using the talents He has given us."

The 13-member University Chamber Choir is Concordia's most select choir. The singers are chosen from the 72-voice, critically acclaimed University A Cappella Choir.

The University Chamber Choir was formed in the fall of 1998 and has traveled extensively throughout the United States, with concert tours to Arizona, California, Colorado and throughout the Midwest.

Von Kampen earned a bachelor's degree in music from Concordia University, Nebraska, a master's degree in choral conducting from Oakland University and a doctorate in choral music education from the University of Nebraska.
