Nova Singers Announce Spring Schedule: "United We Sing"

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL -- The Nova Singers of Nova Southeastern University -a 130-voice chorus under the leadership of founder Peggy Joyce Barber- announce the spring performance schedule for 2004. Admission is free for all performances, however free-will donations are appreciated.

This spring, the group ends their 28th year concert season with "United We Sing," that features American composed songs that have been loved through the years. The program includes songs from the Civil War, patriotic pieces and show tunes. Also joining the Nova Singers on select pieces will be the youth choirs of Taft Street Baptist Church and St. Paul Lutheran Church at their respective locations.

Scheduled performances include:

• Friday, May 21, 8:15 p.m. Taft Street Baptist Church, 7241 Taft Street, Hollywood.
• Sunday, May 23, 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., John Knox Village, 631 SW 6 Street, Pompano Beach.
• Tuesday, May 25, 8:15 p.m., St. Paul Lutheran Church, 701 Palmetto Park Road West, Boca Raton.

The Nova Singers is comprised of people from all walks of life - from high-school students to retirees - as well as representatives from the NSU student body, faculty, and staff. Its lightly blended choral sound is often demonstrated by music from the Renaissance. Most often the group performs classical choral music, but selections also frequently include sacred, contemporary, Broadway, opera, and pops.

The Nova Singers have performed in Carnegie Hall, the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., churches and cathedrals throughout Europe, and most venues in Southeast Florida, including the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, and Gusman Hall at the University of Miami.
