Solemn Vespers and Christmas Cantata to be Performed at William Paterson University On December 7

The William Paterson University Choir and the William Paterson University Chamber Singers will present a winter concert featuring Mozart’s “Solemn Vespers” on Tuesday, December 7 at 8 p.m. in the Shea Center for Performing Arts on the campus in Wayne. Admission is free.

Stephen Bryant, William Paterson University music professor and internationally recognized bass-baritone, will conduct. “Solemn Vespers,” including “Laudate Dominum,” will be performed by the William Paterson Choir and student soloists Jamie McLaughlin of Cape May Court House, soprano; Devin Buerkle of Eatontown, alto; Frank Impelluso of Wanaque, tenor; and Daniel Salyerds of Hamilton Square, bass.

The William Paterson Brass Quintet will accompany the choir for a performance of Daniel Pinkham’s “Christmas Cantata,” a piece that captures the spirit of the holiday season through Latin texts and rhythmic melodies.

In addition, the William Paterson University Chamber Singers, under the direction of Frederick Irwin, an adjunct professor of music, will perform works by Rutter, Buxtehude, Debussy, Morley and Peter Schickele, a humorous American composer.
