The University of New Mexico Chorus will perform the works of Leonard Bernstein Thursday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. at Popejoy Hall, UNM Center for the Arts.
Bradley Ellingboe will conduct “An Evening with Bernstein,” featuring the Chichester Psalms and selections from Candide and West Side Story.
Ellingboe is celebrating his 20th year conducting the University Chorus. The Chichester Psalms was commissioned for English cathedral choirs, while Candid and West Side Story were popular musical scores that defined their time and remain timeless.
The University Chorus is a non-auditioned oratorio society. Of the more than 140 members, approximately 25 are UNM students and another 25 are faculty and staff with others from the greater Albuquerque-area.
Ellingboe, a well-known composer and arranger of choral music, has received an American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) award each year since 2000. He is professor of music and coordinator of vocal studies at UNM.
Concert tickets are $7, $5, and $3 at the UNM Bookstore ticket office or tickets.com.
