Spring 2008 Concert Series
"Come To The Fair!"
The Chorale just completed a five-concert tour for their Spring Concert Series, featuring selections from Rodgers' and Hammerstein's State Fair and Carousel; music focused on flowers, animals, and food that are favorites at a state fair; and musical entertainment for the Grandstand, featuring local choral ensembles from each of our venues.
In late August, the Chorale will also perform as the choral representatives of Southwest Minnesota at the Minnesota State Fair, in a musical salute to Minnesota's 150th anniversary of statehood. The Chorale will perform selections from their own spring concert, in addition to several new works commissioned through the American Composers Forum in a project called "Minnesota Voices."
The Prairie Arts Chorale concert series is made possible in part with a grant from The Southwest Minnesota Arts & Humanities Council (SMAHC) with funds appropriated by the State Legislature.
