Purdue Musical Organizations to perform free concert

Four Purdue Musical Organizations ensembles will perform a free concert at 2 p.m. Sunday (Nov. 6) at the Long Center for the Performing Arts, 111 N. Sixth St. in Lafayette.. The concert, which is free and open to the public, will feature the Purdue Bells, University Choir, Heart & Soul and the All Campus & Community Chorale.

"Besides the Purdue Christmas Show, this is the biggest show of the semester for these ensembles," says Bill Griffel, director of Purdue Musical Organizations. "The audience can expect to hear a variety of selections including gospel, patriotic and traditional concert choir repertoire. Each group will perform a short set before combining for the finale.”

The concert will mark the first performance of the year for the All Campus & Community Chorale, which includes Purdue students, faculty and staff as well as members of the Greater Lafayette community. More than 250 students perform with PMO annually. Purdue has no school of music, so nearly every academic major is represented in the organization.
