The contrast in emotions and musical styles from one piece to the other continues throughout the concert, concluding with Tom Trenney’s arrangement of Kathleen Thomerson’s hymn: I Want to Walk As a Child of the Light.  The centerpiece of the concert is Elaine Hagenberg’s multi-movement work Illuminare; a multi-movement composition that express splendor, love, darkness, melodic tenderness, and radiance.  The concert presentation of Illuminare is a Michiana premiere performance conducted by Cyril Punay.   Mr. Punay is the assistant choral director during professor Stephen Zork’s spring semester sabbatical.  The Andrews University Singers & University Chorale are pleased to collaborate with members of the Andrews University Symphony Orchestra (Dr. Marc Elysée, conductor) for the presentation “From Darkness into Light”.  Cyril Punay is aided by his graduate choral conducting colleagues –  Nicole Neugebauer, Janelle Dobson, and Jahaziel Gutierrez. 7:00 p.m. March 29, Howard Performing Arts Center – A freewill offering will be received   PROGRAM A Better Resurrection……………………………………….………… Craig Courtney Nicole Neugebauer, graduate conductor   Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten.……..………… Johann Sebastian Bach “Ring forth o songs, resound, you strings!
