University of Indianapolis Choral Union in its second season
Our newest University choral ensemble is in its second season and invites interested alumni to audition. In
addition to alumni, the group is made up of UIndy faculty, staff, students, and community members and is led
by UIndy Director of Choral Activities Paul Krasnovsky.
Rehearsals are on Sunday evenings in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center. Its first season culminated last
April with a concert that featured a 250th birthday celebration performance of Mozart’s Solemn Vespers of the
Confessor, K. 339.
This year’s activities include the annual Christmas Celebration concerts in December, an April performance
including Beethoven’s Mass in C Major, Op. 86 with orchestra and soloists, and a June concert tour to China!

UIndy Festival Chorale plans tour to China in June
The Festival Chorale of the University of Indianapolis is planning its seventh overseas adventure! This time
the destination is China, and the tentative dates for travel are June 7–16, 2007. This will be the Chorale’s most
exotic trip yet and members will be guaranteed a special experience, because each concert will be hosted by local
Chinese choirs.
Non-singers are most welcome. Festival Chorale is a unique opportunity to share the pleasure of musicmaking
and the novelty of exploring new places with interesting people of all ages and from all walks of life. The
group comprises students and alums, faculty and staff, family and friends, all tied through a strong bond to the
University of Indianapolis.
The flexible rehearsal schedule will begin in late April. Those who do not live in the immediate area also
will be able to participate; all the music and practice CDs will be sent to members well in advance of final
rehearsals before departure.
Complete details of the trip, including itinerary and costs, can be found online at http://www.

Activities, UIndy Music Department, 1400 East Hanna Avenue, (317) 788-3255, krasnovsky@uindy.edu.
