The Piedmont College Singers will present five concerts in as many days across North Carolina and Tennessee as part of their annual Spring Tour, Feb. 27–March 3.
Directed by Dr. Wallace Hinson, the ensemble includes 43 students selected by audition who perform a wide variety of literature from the Renaissance period to works of the 21st century. Known as a choral group that sings with great precision, the Piedmont College Singers are also noted for their performance of ethnic choral music from Eastern Europe, Jamaica, and South Africa; contemporary choral music; and American folksongs and spirituals.
This year’s tour will include performances at 7 p.m., Feb. 27, at First Congregational Church in Asheville, N.C.; 3 p.m., Feb. 28, at Pleasant Hill Community Church in Pleasant Hill, Tenn.; 11 a.m., March 1, at Church of the Savior in Knoxville, Tenn.; 3 p.m., March 1, at Fairfield Glade Community Church in Crossville, Tenn.,; and 7 p.m., March 2, at Pilgrim Congregational Church in Chattanooga, Tenn.
The Singers will be accompanied on organ at each performance by a former member of the Singers, Benji Stegner of Toccoa, who graduated in 2011.
