DISCOVER! | MARCH 12, 2016 

The Northwestern College a Cappella Choir will cap a nine-day tour of Taiwan with a home 

concert Friday, March 18, at 7:30 p.m. in Christ Chapel. The performance is free, and the public 

is invited to attend. 

Directed by Dr. Thomas Holm, the 

42-member ensemble gave concerts in 

Taipei and Hualien during their March 

spring break. The Northwestern students 

performed at middle and high schools, 

two seminaries, a university, several 

churches and a hospital. They also presented 

a workshop and master class for 

conductors. 

The home concert will include a variety 

of the choir’s tour repertoire, including 

sacred music in both English and Latin; 

American spirituals and black gospel 

songs; as well as a Taiwanese folk song 

and popular Chinese love song. 

The a Cappella Choir’s tour was held 

in partnership with the National Presbyterian 

Church of Taiwan. It was arranged 

by Ming-Chen “Grace” Lo Rohrer, Northwestern’s 

international student counselor

Holm, a member of Northwestern’s faculty since 2000, holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree
