UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State School of Music invites the community to experience an afternoon of choral music with two concerts this Sunday, April 6, in the Recital Hall of Music Building I. Both performances will also be available via livestream.
The first concert, beginning at 1:30 p.m., will feature the University Choir, under the direction of Christopher Kiver, and Essence of Joy, conducted by Austin Norrid.

At 4:30 p.m., the Oriana Singers, directed by Emily Wertz, and the Penn State Glee Club, led by Kiver, will take the stage. The Oriana Singers, an ensemble dedicated to treble choral literature, and the historic Penn State Glee Club, one of the oldest collegiate choral ensembles in the country, will present a dynamic program celebrating a wide range of musical styles.
Admission is $12.50 for adults and $5 for students. Tickets can be purchased through the Arts Ticket Center. The box office opens one hour before the concert.
Parking is available at the Nittany Deck at an hourly or event rate.
