The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Choral Union will sing Mozart Requiem at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, May 6, at the English Lutheran Church in La Crosse. Choral Union’s performance of this major classical work is accompanied by orchestra and soloists.
“It is one of those landmark pieces that I think everyone knows,” says Conductor David Richardson. “I just love it.”
The 85-member choir is made up of community members and UW-L students. It has grown from 56 members fall semester when Richardson started as the new conductor.
“There was definitely a learning curve the first semester,” he says. “I think we are learning how to work together. The rehearsals are productive and members are committed to Choral Union.”
Auditions for fall semester Choral Union will be prior to the start of the semester. Auditions are for part placement within the choir only and anyone can join. Stay tuned to the Campus Connection for more details.
