Tabor College Music

The Tabor College Concert Choir, under the direction of Dr. Bradley D. Vogel, Professor of Choral Music, will perform a free public concert at 4 p.m. Sunday, April 5, at the Hillsboro Mennonite Brethren Church.

The choir recently returned from its Spring Tour, in which it gave 10 concerts, from March 19 to March 27, in Kansas, Colorado, and California.

The concert, entitled “The Aroma of Christ,” is based on 2 Corinthians 2:15 and explores the themes of Christ in the World, Christ in Us, and With Christ in Eternity.

“The concert repertoire is designed with the aim to magnify the greatness of God and His love,” Vogel said. “Through beauty of sound and text, we hope that listeners recognize God in us and around us.”

Musical selections will range from standard choral works of Palestrina, Rachmaninoff, Stanford and Durufle, to arrangements of hymns, spirituals, and gospel songs. The concert choir will be accompanied by piano, organ, flute, oboe, and violin.

“I do believe that art glorifies God, and that people are enriched by beauty,” Vogel added. “Our prayer is that people will feel enriched by hearing the choir.”
