Concert – St. Catherine University Women’s Choir

All are invited to attend the concert performed by the Women’s Choir of St. Catherine University from St. Paul MN, on March 19 at 7:30pm in the church.

The concert is free, and all are welcome to attend.

The choir, led by Patricia Cahalan Connors, director, is presenting this concert in the Kansas City area as part of their 2022 spring break tour of the upper Midwest.

The choir will also provide special music during the 5:30 Mass that afternoon at St. James. Their program of sacred and secular works includes repertoire from a variety of styles and periods, classic to contemporary, and will particularly highlight music of women composers, from 19th-century Clara Schumann to those still writing today.

Recognized as a leading women’s choir in Minnesota, The Women’s Choir performs often throughout the year, both on campus and off. They have performed for conventions of the Minnesota ACDA and the Minnesota Music Education Association (MMEA), with other college women’s choirs in WomanVoice and on concert tours within the U.S. and abroad. They were featured on the radio program, A Prairie Home Companion, during the university’s centennial celebration. Spring tour repertoire will feature sacred and secular works appropriate for performance during the Lenten season.
