A Musical Exchange

Musical excitement abounded recently, as the University of Michigan Men's Glee Club passed through Moraga in the middle of their West Coast tour. The singers exchanged performances May 20 in Campolindo's Performing Arts Center, first with performances by the Campo Concert and Chamber choirs, then with the Men's Glee Club, to the delight of the students. The Club is the second oldest collegiate choir in the country, and brought 53 of their usual 100-plus voices on the road. Moraga choir parents gave them a warm welcome by hosting a barbecue at the home of Laura and Eppy Giles May 19. Barbara Bisel, whose son Rob sings in the club, organized the event as well as home stays for the boys. Parents, friends, and neighbors were thrilled by an impromptu, breathtaking performance on the Giles' front lawn at the conclusion of the barbecue.

Highlights of their tour included a performance at MusicFest Canada (a national musical festival in Vancouver where they are the featured guest vocal ensemble for the festival); their Brothers in Song LA concert at Pasadena Presbyterian Church (where they will collaborate with several schools from the LA area); and their final performance with alumni in San Francisco (where they revisited Carl Orff's In Taberna section of his Carmina Burana).
