Classical Music
The Rutgers University Queens Chorale Taiwan Concert Tour (美國羅格斯大學后聲合唱團2007台灣巡迴音樂會). The Rutgers University Queens Chorale was founded in 1974 by a small group of women who wanted to sing traditional Rutgers music in a relaxed, social atmosphere. Originally named the "Rutgers Women's Chorale," members were also part of the Kirkpatrick Choir, a mixed-voice concert ensemble, directed by David Drinkwater. Now, 32 years later under the direction of Victor Shen (沈新欽), members of the chorale are from all of the undergraduate programs at the Rutgers University, and the repertoire has expanded to include concert music. Tonight, the group will be joined by the Tunghai University Modern Chorus (東海大學現代合唱團) and the Providence University Chorus (靜宜大學合唱團). Conducted by Shen and Yen Yu-fen (顏毓芬), the concert will include special music program of American contemporary choral works.
