An upcoming concert titled \u201cPilgrimage\u201d and presented by two Eastern Mennonite University vocal ensembles will reflect the \u201cwhole journey toward that which is sacred,\u201d said director and professor of music Ryan Keebaugh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The concert by the University Choir and Emulate chamber ensemble is on Tuesday, April 10, at 7 p.m. in Martin Chapel, and is free and open to the public. Donations will support the music scholarship fund.<\/p>\n

The program will feature works that date from as early as the 1500\u2019s to this decade and are from across the globe.<\/p>\n

The 37-member University Choir will be accompanied by organist John Fast<\/a> on R. Vaughan Williams\u2019 \u201cO Clap Your Hands,\u201d and pianist Rebekah Hade will accompany the choir on Craig Hella Johnson\u2019s arrangement of Eliza Gilkyson\u2019s \u201cRequiem\u201d and John Leavitt\u2019s \u201cFestival Sanctus.\u201d<\/p>\n

The choir will also sing \u201cGab\u00ed, Gab\u00ed,\u201d a South African praise song.<\/p>\n

Keebaugh\u2019s conducting has been described as \u201cexpressive, concise, insightful and sensitive,\u201d and his choral ensembles have been invited to perform at international and national festivals, master classes, and historic locations including Emulate at the Washington National Cathedral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His compositions have been called \u201cinnovative and hauntingly beautiful\u201d by The Washington Post<\/em> and praised as \u201cgorgeous canvases of sacred minimalism,\u201d and have received numerous awards and recognition including the Raabe Music Prize<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At EMU, Keebaugh\u00a0 is the music education specialist and coordinator of music theory. He conducts the choir at Grace United Methodist Church in Middletown, Virginia.<\/p>\n

Hade is organist and pianist for the same church, and teaches music at Signal Knob Middle School in Strasburg, Virginia. Watch Hade play Chopin\u2019s \u00c9tude Op. 25, No. 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fast has been an active member of the EMU music faculty since 1975, and frequently accompanies various Shenandoah Valley choral ensembles, including the Shenandoah Valley Children\u2019s Choir<\/a>. Watch as Fast accompanies the Park View Mennonite Church choir as it sings \u201cThe heavens are telling\u201d from Haydn\u2019s \u201cThe Creation.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n
