ENMU choirs on tour

PORTALES — The Eastern New Mexico University Chamber and Swanee Singers are touring central New Mexico Nov. 14–17, including performances at Monte Vista Christian Church, the University of New Mexico and several high schools in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe area.

“I am so thrilled for the Chamber Singers and Swanee Singers to be touring again, for the first time since 2019,” ENMU Director of Choral Activities Jason Paulk said. “We have two public concerts that I hope our alumni, friends and family will consider attending.”

The ENMU Chamber Singers kick off the tour 7 p.m. Sunday at Monte Vista Christian Church in Albuquerque. This event is free to the public, followed by a reception sponsored by the ENMU Alumni Association.

The Chamber Singers will perform selections from Finnish composer Jussi Chydenius and Russian composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The Swanee Singers will perform selections from music theater arrangements for SSAA voices, including “A Million Dreams” from “The Greatest Showman” and “Audition” from “La La Land.”

The groups will give a free concert noon Nov. 17 at the Rotunda in Santa Fe to conclude the tour.
