FOUR TEXAS WESLEYAN STUDENTS SELECTED TO PERFORM WITH ACDA COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY

HONOR CHAMBER CHOIR

Four members of the Texas Wesleyan Chamber Singers have been chosen to sing in the 2009 American Choral Directors Association College and University Honor Chamber Choir. Students from universities across the country submitted recorded audition material. The four students who will be representing Texas Wesleyan University in this prestigious 50-voice choir will be Mary-Margaret Meyer, soprano; Caitlin Fanning, alto; David Gast, tenor; and Jeremy Smith, bass.

The group will present a concert to the membership of ACDA during the ACDA's annual national convention on March 7 in Oklahoma City.

The conductor and clinician for the group will be Gary Graden. Graden studied at Clark University, the Hartt School of Music, the Aspen Summer Music Festival, and the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm, under Eric Ericson. He is choral director at St. Jacob’s Church in Stockholm and has been on the faculty of Stockholm’s Musikgymnasium, where he founded and conducted the Stockholm Musikgymnasiums Chamber Choir. With this choir and the St. Jacobs Chamber Choir, he has won grand prizes and first prizes in several of Europe’s most prestigious competitions.
