The ensembles will be performing John Rutter's triumphant musical "Gloria."
"We are very excited about the addition of The Boychoir of Ann Arbor to our program this year. Certainly, the variety of music and choral ensembles create a unique event that people will really enjoy," Dr. Brian Altevogt, CUAA Director of Choirs, said in a press release. "We’re expecting a joyful response and are delighted at the opportunity to combine all our choirs and to share their work with our community."
The majority of the texts will be sung in English, and according to CUAA, "the songs offer simple, yet heartwarming expressions of faith, love, and hope."
