CHARLESTON — The Eastern Illinois University Choral Ensembles will present their first concert in the Doudna Fine Arts Center’s renovated Dvorak Concert Hall at 4 p.m. Sunday.

The concert, with the theme “Cathedrals, Castles and Colonies,” will include music by English, French, German, Italian and American composers.

The concert will feature the EIU Concert Choir and Camerata Singers, under the direction of Richard Robert Rossi; the University Mixed Chorus, directed by Adam Stich, the most recent addition to the EIU music department faculty; and the Collegium Musicum Consort, with Peter Hesterman as coordinator. Also performing will be the Eastern Symphony Orchestra Brass Quartet.

The Ensembles will perform a wide array of musical selections, from early classics to contemporary works by a variety of composers, including Machaut, Banchieri, Monteverdi, Copland and Randall Thompson.

A special presentation of “The Funeral Music of Queen Mary” by Purcell will be performed by the Camerata Singers and the Eastern Symphony Brass Quartet.
