The Ohio Northern University Men’s and Women’s Choruses will perform their fall concert in the Snyder Recital Hall of Presser Hall on Friday, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public.
The ONU Men’s Chorus, directed by Dr. Ben Ayling, will perform a varied selection of pieces, including “Loch Lomond,” “How Great Thou Art,” “Mary Had a Baby” and the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch tune “Johnnie Schmoker.”
The ONU Women’s Chorus, made up of more than 60 women, will present selections by Linda Spevacek, Eleanor Daley, Eric Whitacre and Z. Randall Stroope. Additionally, they will present a piece with poetry based on a parlor game played by Jane Austen, her sister Cassandra, and her mother. The Women’s Chorus is conducted by Marilyn Roth Basinger, now in her fourth year leading the ONU Women’s Chorus.
