Jilek said the choir is developing a rotation to visit multiple areas in the northern Minnesota region, and this year’s tour stops were selected from areas in which BSU has traditionally recruited music students — and where music alumni currently call home. The Walker concert is hosted by renowned costume designer Fred Rogers, who has worked with the Department of Music on both its Madrigal Dinners and Opera Theater productions.<\/p>\n
All concerts are free of charge and open to the public. Free-will offerings will be taken at all three locations to support the choir’s planned spring 2018 international tour to the Baltics.<\/p>\n

The 19-song set list for this year’s tour reflects all of these activities, along with classical and sacred choral music standards.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/MN-State-logo-100x175.jpg\"){kind=logo}
