School of Visual, Performing and Design Arts Presents: OSU Chamber Choir at The President's Concert: Chaotic Joy!
Named in honor of President Emeritus Edward J. Ray and his late wife, Beth Ray, the President’s Concert represents the pinnacle of the choral year at Oregon State. The concert features the Chamber Choir, a mixed-voice ensemble directed by Steven Zielke, Director of Choral Studies and Patricia Valian Reser Professor of Music. For the singers, the concert culminates a spring that includes a regional, national, or international tour. For the audience, the concert represents a lovely way to usher out the academic year while looking to the future represented by the exceptional musicians on stage in Detrick Hall at PRAx.
The President’s Concert is made possible by a choral leadership endowment fund that President and Beth Ray helped establish, and by the contributions of generous supporters of vocal music at Oregon State.
Featuring:
- Guest artist Roosevelt Credit (OSU 1990), 2012 Distinguished Alumni Fellow Award for the OSU College of Liberal Arts, and Broadway performing.
- Guest Conductor Dr. Gregory Zielke, joining with the Patricia Reser Professor of Music, Dr. Steven Zielke, in a unique and joyful annual presentation of the President’s Concert.
