Compositions by female composers, poetry by female poets and works about historically important female figures will be featured during the Cal Poly Choirs concert, “In Her Words,” at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 4, in Harold J. Miossi Hall of the Performing Arts Center. All four Cal Poly choirs — plus special guest ensemble, the Tucson Girls Chorus (TGC) from Arizona — will perform. There will be familiar favorites such as Benjamin Britten’s “Hymn to St. Cecilia” performed by the Chamber Choir, and modern masterpieces like Cecilia McDowall’s “Magnificat” performed by PolyPhonics and University Singers. The concert will also include some rarely performed gems such as several selections from Maddalena Casulana’s “Il primo libro di madrigali a quattro voci” (First Book of Madrigals for Four Voices) from 1568, which will be performed by the Chamber Choir and accompanied by Jennifer Sayre on baroque harp. More information about the program and the TGC is on the Music Department’s calendar website. Tickets are sold at the Cal Poly Ticket Office, ext. 6-4849. For more information, call ext. 6-2406.
