The Drake Choir and Chamber Choir will perform a pre-tour concert on Tuesday, March 8, at 7:30 p.m. in Sheslow Auditorium before embarking on a tour to Minnesota, March 9–13, with evening concerts in Winona, Collegeville, and St. Louis Park. The choirs’ tour repertoire includes music by contemporary American composers, works by Handel and Bruckner, as well as a particularly enticing piece by Latvian composer Eriks Esenvalds, with whom the ensembles will work when they tour Latvia, Estonia, and Finland in May. There is no charge for the evening concerts but a freewill offering will be taken.
