Lewis University Choir sings Russian music this spring

The Lewis University Choir, directed by Dr. Lawrence Sisk, will perform Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s sublime Liturgy of St John Chrysostom at two south suburban churches. On April 26 the choir will appear at St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church in Lockport, Illinois, and on May 3 at St. Archangel Michael in Lansing, Illinois. Both performances are on Tuesday evenings at 7:30; admission is free. The choir will be joined by bass soloist Father Milos Vesin, pastor at St. Archangel Michael Serbian Orthodox Church.

The Lewis University Choir comprises students, faculty, staff and members of the community. The 32-voice choir specializes in a cappella sacred music ranging from medieval plainsong and Renaissance polyphony to music of living composers. Concerts by the Lewis University Choir are frequently televised and have been broadcast over local cable television as well as on the EWTN national network.
