LAURENTIAN SINGERS PERFORM POST-TOUR CONCERT ON CAMPUS

CANTON - The Laurentian Singers, St. Lawrence University's mixed-voice 
choir, will perform in concert on Sunday, March 28, at 8 p.m. in Gunnison 
Memorial Chapel on campus. The event is open to the public, free of charge.
The Laurentian Singers have just returned from a spring break tour of New 
England, performing public concerts in Burlington, Hartford and Boston. 
	The pieces selected for this year's tour focus on the variety of 
the American musical experience from colonial times to the present - sacred 
and secular, classical and popular, serious and silly. Included in the 
program are psalms; a motet composed by a contemporary of Christopher 
Columbus; Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer" and "Polly Wolly Doodle"; 
Civil War songs; the popular songs "Stardust," "A Natural Woman" and "Good 
Vibrations"; a setting of Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken," and some 
St. Lawrence songs.
	The Laurentian Singers have won wide acclaim since the ensemble was 
founded in 1946. In addition to their many performances on the St. Lawrence 
campus, they have toured extensively throughout the eastern United States, 
Canada, Europe, and Central and South America. The Laurentian Singers are 
all undergraduate students, representing a wide range of academic minors and 
interests at St. Lawrence University.
	Barry Torres is the director of the Laurentian Singers; Barbara 
Phillips-Farley is the accompanist.
