The Chamber Choir and Vocal Rhapsody Ensemble of Cleveland State Community College will present a free spring concert at 7 p.m. today, May 4, in the George R. Johnson Cultural Heritage Center on the Cleveland, Tenn., campus.

Both choirs are under the direction of Karen Dale, associate professor of music.

The choirs will present several sacred selections, a jazz arrangement of the calypso-style “Shut de do” and two spirituals, “Ride on Jesus” and “In Bright Mansions Above” arranged by Roland Carter.

Vocal Rhapsody will sing Pentonix’s “Run to You,” followed by several songs from the 1950s and 1960s. A river theme will follow, with songs “Old Man River,” “Down by the Riverside,” “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” and “Come Sail Away.”

The concert will close with “Omnia Sol” sung by the combined choirs and alumni.

The Cleveland State Alumni Association will host a reception immediately following the concert to honor choir members as well as alumni attending the event.
