The Concordia Concert Choir, which has at- tained national and international fame is composed of sixty-two hard working Cobbers. The choir is an active organization which practices every day and performs at school functions as well as concerts during the winter and spring. This year their tour took them through North Dakota, Montana, Washington, and Oregon. The repertoire of the choir is chosen by Prof. Christiansen from church music and includes works from Bach as well as some contemporary composers. The Everett Daily Herald had this to say about the concert there: If a better choral group has appeared in Everett in the last years, it would take a lot of convincing for the large audience that heard the Concordia Choir on Sunday afternoon. Singing with an unbelievable clarity of tone, they reveled in the beauty of works by the old masters down through the contemporary composers. 48 THE CONCERT CHOIR AT WORK

However, this campus group has also achieved praise and recognition because of the part which it plays in the annual Christmas Concert, chapel appear- ances, and radio broadcasts. The chapel choir further proves its merits in the annual spring concert which it presents with the women's choir.
