UALR’s Concert Choir, under the direction of Dr. Bevan Keating, embarks on its Spring Concert Tour Friday, March 2, 2007, taking music – both classical and non – to central Arkansas schools and general public.

This bus tour is the first in a number of years for the choir and serves the UALR metropolitan university mission.

The tour, offered free of charge to participating schools, will begin with an 8:30 a.m. concert at North Little Rock High School East followed by a 10 a.m. performance at Bryant High School and at 1 p.m. at Hot Springs High School. UALR’s singers will be joined by the National Park Community Choir, under the direction of Denise Edds, in a 2:30 p.m. masters class. Both choirs will perform at 7:30 p.m at St. Lukes Episcopal Church in Hot Springs. Admission is free.

The UALR Concert Choir was recently featured in the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra production of My Fair Lady.
