The UALR Concert Choir, under the direction of Dr. Bevan Keating, sang at the gubernatorial inauguration ceremony on Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2011, at the Capitol.

We performed “Good News” by Moses Hogan, and “Irish Blessing.” Because of the weather and road conditions, the high school choir slated to perform had to cancel, so we added “Cantate Dominum” to the schedule at the last minute.

We sang from the third floor rotunda, and the acoustics were beautiful.

What an honour it was to perform for the governor for such an auspicious occasion! (Dr. Keating is Canadian, so the spelling of ‘honour’ is for him.)
