NSU’s University Singers perform at Central Park Community Center

(Broken Arrow, Oklahoma)--In its third annual installment, Music in the Rough is a concert series that takes traditional choral music out of the concert hall and into non-traditional, rough places. The University Singers from Northeastern State University will perform a choral concert in the gymnasium of Central Park Community Center in Broken Arrow on Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public.

The first Music in the Rough concert was performed in a car dealerships service bay garage in Tahlequah, the second in a vacant area of Arrowhead Mall in Muskogee. This year, the University Singers expand their performing radius into Broken Arrow.

Dr. Jeffery Wall, director of Choral Activities and Department of Music chair, and a student conductor will lead this concert.

Instead of expecting audiences to come to us in the traditional concert hall, we are taking the music to them in the places of everyday life, Wall said.

The concert will feature works by Johannes Brahms, Stephen Foster, Tomas Luis de Victoria, Benjamin Britten and others.

There is a little something for everyone, Wall said, from German love song to music from the movie, Gladiator.
