The 36-member Georgia Southern Chorale will perform Monday, January 22 at 7 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church in Peachtree City. The concert, which is free and open to the public, will include works by Lars Edlund, CV Stanford, Mack Wilberg, Franz Schubert and others.

The group is under the direction of Rodney Caldwell, D.M.A., who is now in his twelfth year as Director of Choral Activities at Georgia Southern University. In addition to conducting the Georgia Southern Chorale, he teaches courses in conducting and music education, and is the Coordinator of International Studies in Music.

The chorale will tour throughout the state and then travel to Savannah, Ga., where it will perform on the Georgia Music Educators Conference. This will mark the group’s fourth appearance on the GMEA Conference in the last ten years.

One of five vocal/choral groups at Georgia Southern, the chorale appears in approximately 20 concerts each year. The group tours internationally every third year, and in 2005 it performed in St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City and Palazzo Vecchio in the Italian city of Florence.
