On April 7, 2008, members of
the Schreiner Choir will perform John Rutter’s Gloria and a
new work by Rutter, the Winchester Te Deum at Carnegie Hall
in New York City. Members of the choir will be joined by ten
to twelve other choirs from across the country to perform
with an orchestra that will be conducted by John Rutter. The
choir is currently raising money to go on this trip, if you
are interested in making a donation, please contact the
director, Mr. Michael Kahl at (830) 792-7417.
The Schreiner University Choir program is currently
comprised of three choirs; the University Choir, Concert
Choir and a Women’s Small Ensemble. The styles of music
rehearsed and performed vary from classical, spirituals,
musical theater, jazz to pop music. The choirs are open to
both music and non-music majors. Faculty and Staff are also
welcome to join the choir where the atmosphere of rehearsals
is focused yet festive with an emphasis on group unity and
respect for all involved in the ensemble. In 2007, members
of the University Choir performed and toured in Italy for
ten days. They sang in the Vatican and also participated in
a choral festival near Verona. The choir also performed with
the Symphony of the Hills orchestra in April and will again
participate in the Symphony of the Hills November concert.
In February, the choir sang the National Anthem at a San
Antonio Spurs game and in March, the choir presented a
dinner theater event that featured the music of the Beatles
and other works of various styles. In 2008, the choir will
again feature a dinner theater event and sing the National
Anthem at a Spurs game. The Schreiner Choir Department
performs at various community locations and events such as
retirement homes, foster homes, and various other non-profit
organizations.
