St. John The Baptist Parish In Newburgh Hosting Coral Concert

The Evansville Philharmonic Chorus Spring Choral Concert is set for 7:30 p.m. EDT April 16 at St. John the Baptist Parish in Newburgh.  The performance is sponsored by Friends of the Chorus.             

The concert will include “The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass,” by Carol Barnett.  It blends the classical Mass, modern choral sophistication, touching poetry and traditional bluegrass instrumentation into an exhilarating musical experience.

The Evansville Philharmonic Chorus is a volunteer chorus of more than 130 members, which performs major choral repertoire with the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra. Audience members are invited to a reception immediately following the concert in the parish hall.
