Bradley Community Chorus Director Takes Final Bow with This Weekend's Concert

Bradley University

Our guest this week is John Jost, with the Bradley University Music Department. He joined us to talk about this weekend's concert with the Bradley Community Chorus. It's a double milestone for the choir -- the ensemble is celebrating it's 60th anniversary, and this will be Jost's final concert as conductor.

The program consists of a selection of popular opera choruses, including the "Toreador Song" by Georges Bizet and Borodin's "Polovtsian Dance." Narration by Lee Wenger will introduce each of the composers and pieces.

The Bradley Community Chorus performs Sunday afternoon at 3:00 at the Dingeldine Music Center in Peoria. Jost will also lead the Bradley Chorale in a farewell concert on Saturday, April 28th.
