CHORALE OPENS FOR KEILLOR

The Dana College Chorale, one of the region’s most esteemed vocal groups, performed at a very special event in Omaha on Oct. 24.

The Chorale opened for National Public Radio staple Garrison Keillor at the Omaha Civic Center. Keillor, best known for his show “Prairie Home Companion,” did the performance as a benefit for Lutheran Outdoor Ministries of Nebraska and Iowa. The event was an exciting opportunity for the Chorale to expand its fanbase in the area. The Chorale was the only group performing to share the stage with Keillor, and he complimented them on their outstanding performance.

The Dana College Chorale sang from the following repertoire: “Three Hymns,” arranged by Chorale Director Richard Palmer; “Ride the Chariot,” arranged by Andre Thomas; “Joy is on the Way,” by Joy K. Westmoreland; “Jericho,” arranged by Michael Dryver; “God be in My Head,” by Palmer; and “Chindia” by Alexandru Pascanu.
