The concert will showcase the University Choir, UE Choral Society, and a guest choir from First Presbyterian Church in Evansville. The program includes Maurice Durufle's "Requiem, Op. 9," as well as works by English composers Thomas Tallis and Charles Wood, and American composer Morten Lauridsen.

The concert will also highlight the talents of organist Robert Nicholls, adjunct instructor of organ at UE and Music Director at First Presbyterian Church in Evansville. Nicholls will perform on St. Benedict Cathedral's pipe organ, constructed by Parsons Pipe Organ Builders of Canandaigua, New York, which plays a prominent role in Durufle's "Requiem." Alanna Keenan, Associate Professor of Music, will also be a featured soloist. UE Director of Choral Activities and Oramay Cluthe Eades Distinguished Professor of Music, Dennis Malfatti, will conduct the concert
