College Choir Wraps Up Midwestern Tour By Hope Werre MLC ’17 In a packed 10-day experience, the MLC College Choir performed 16 concerts throughout the Midwest. Beginning February 27, the 58 choir members and their conductor, Dr. Kermit Moldenhauer, traveled by bus to churches in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois. The choir sang up to three concerts daily and performed 19 works, including two newly commissioned pieces by Paul Mealor and Matthew Culloton. “The best thing about choir tour,” said Tristan Paustian (First-Racine WI), “is getting to know fellow Christians all around the United States and encouraging them by singing the gospel while they also encourage us. It’s well worth the effort!” Watch the MLC College Choir singing in the Wisconsin State Capitol on MLC’s Facebook page!
The choir enjoyed some free time in Chicago, which was where PR Director Bill Pekrul DMLC ’80 took this photo, which shows four singers reflected in the sculpture Cloud Gate (aka The Bean) at Millennium Park.
