Wednesday, April 6, 2011, By Kelly Homan Rodoski

Syracuse University’s Hendricks Chapel Choir, accompanied by University Organist Kola Owolabi, will perform French composer and organist Maurice Duruflé’s legendary “Requiem” for its annual spring concert on Sunday, April 17, at 4 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel.

The concert is free and open to the public. Free parking will be available in the Q1 parking lot or the Irving Avenue Parking Garage.

“Requiem,” written by Duruflé in 1947, is virtually a concerto for organ and choir. Hendricks Chapel Choir members Sierra Fox and Alex Brozdowski will be soloists for the work.

The Hendricks Chapel Choir is a select, voice-mixed choir of about 40 students that provides music for the Sunday morning interdenominational Protestant service at SU, as well as for various campus events. The choir presents annual holiday and spring concerts, and tours internationally every four years.
