Marietta College Concert Choir

Christ the King Church in Old Lyme welcomes the Concert Choir from Marietta College, a four-year liberal-arts college in Marietta, Ohio, for a stop on its spring tour. The choir will perform a concert at the church on Thursday, May 7, at 7 p.m.

The Marietta College Concert Choir, one of five choral ensembles at the college, is an auditioned group of male and female undergraduates from various majors and departments.  The ensemble performs annually throughout the United States, and embarks on occasional tours overseas, including Great Britain in 2013 and China in 2006.

Old Lyme resident and Lyme-Old Lyme High School alumna Lucy Welles (Class of 2013) is a member of the 2015 Concert Choir.

The concert program will include classical and contemporary choral pieces, ranging from J.S. Bach and William Byrd to René Clausen and Joshua Rist.

Admission to the concert is free and open to the public.  A free-will offering will be taken to help defray the choir’s travel expenses.

Christ the King Church is located at 1 McCurdy Rd. in Old Lyme, Conn.
