University of Arkansas Schola Cantorum Reinvents Traditional Holiday Concert
The University of Arkansas Schola Cantorum, the flagship choral ensemble of the state, will reinvent the traditional holiday concert this year with a presentation of "A Child's Christmas in Wales." The presentation will include holiday music inspired by, and interpolated into, a complete reading of Dylan Thomas' legendary and popular poem.
Popular music professor Henry Runkles will lend his deep burnished-baritone voice to Thomas' prose, and Stephen Caldwell will lead the choir in what will be a memorable evening of music and spoken word. One night only tonight, Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 7:30 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church on Dickson Street in Fayetteville.
Tickets are $5. All proceeds to benefit the Schola Cantorum's March 2014 concert tour to Puerto Rico.
