The UToledo Chamber Singers are a select ensemble specializing in classical choral literature from the 16th through the 21st centuries, including a cappella works, major works for chorus and orchestra, folk songs and spirituals.<\/p>\n

The opportunity to perform at the annual professional development conference follows a competitive selection process. The Chamber Singers are one of 30 ensembles scheduled to perform over three days to showcase the talent of the state\u2019s music students.<\/p>\n

The OMEA Professional Development Concert is the third largest music conference in the country, with sessions presented by nationally recognized master teachers demonstrating research-based, best practices in the field of music education and technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so honored to represent the University at this year\u2019s conference,\u201d said Micah Bland, director of choral activities and a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Music. \u201cThe students have been working hard and are excited for the opportunity to showcase their musical talents in this performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA Path to Hope\u201d is a diverse collection of musical styles and cultures comprised of nine selections, four of which are works in a foreign language. Most selections were published by living composers within the past five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the songs we are performing convey a sense of hope,\u201d said Alicia Jenkins, a member of the ensemble and a senior studying multi-age education with a concentration in music. \u201cI hope that the audience members feel inspired to push past any hardship that they may have in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the OMEA Professional Development Conference, the Chamber Singers will present their free, public performance at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6.<\/p>\n
