The Bowdoin Chamber Choir and the University of Southern Maine (USM) Chamber Singers, will perform a mixture of contemporary American music, spirituals and classical music this Sunday.

The show was organized by the music department with the assistance of Professor of Music Robert Greenlee and Robert Russell, directors of the Bowdoin Chamber Choir. Producer Delmar Small also helped to publicize the event and oversee house management.

Pieces that will be performed this weekend include "Animal Crackers" and "Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine" by Eric Whitacre, which are known as some of the best a cappella songs of the 21st century.

Audience members can look forward to hearing the USM choirs, highly regarded through New England for their high quality.

"It is always an honor and a pleasure to sing in the Bowdoin Chapel...the Bowdoin audiences are very sophisticated listeners, and we enjoy singing for an appreciative audience," said Russell.

The concert will take place this Sunday from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in the Chapel.

Admission is free and open to the public.
