Middlebury College Choir to Tour Florida

The 45-voice Middlebury College Choir, known throughout

the country for its “Christmas in Vermont” programs

broadcast over public television, will perform in many Florida

locations in February. Admission to all concerts is free and the

public is cordially invited to attend.

Under the direction of Emory Fanning, the ensemble

has toured throughout the U.S. and has won critical acclaim for

its beautifully blended sound and musical sophistication.

This season’s program includes motets by Byrd, Vulpius,

Bruckner, and Schumann; works celebrating the centennial of Johannes

Brahms; 19th century part songs and glees; modern works by Berger,

Tavener and Randall Thompson; and traditional folk songs and spirituals.
