Calvary University Senior, Charis Schneeberger, invites you to attend her Senior Recital on Saturday, November 18, 2017, at 7:00 p.m. at Blue River Bible Church, 15608 Fairchild Dr, Kansas City, MO 64147. This is a FREE recital.
Charis is from Raymore, Missouri, majoring in Music Education –Vocal. This degree will prepare her to be certified to teach music at the K-12 level in general and vocal classrooms. Next semester she will continue in her degree program before completing her student teaching in the Spring of 2019. She currently enjoys singing ALL the time, teaching kids to swim, taking classes, and hanging out with friends and family.
Singing since she could talk, Charis has had many opportunities to shape her gift throughout junior high and high school in choirs and vocal ensembles, as well as, the Calvary Choral her first two years as a student. She was also a part of Calvary University’s traveling ensemble, Evidence, for two years. She is so thankful for the progress she has made at Calvary so far and hopes to continue to grow to be the very best she can be for those around her now and her students in the future.
Each Music Major has to perform a final recital as part of their degree requirements; however, even though it is required, it is one of the more fun things Music Seniors get to do for their degree process. Come hear Charis as she sings a selection of Italian, French, and German composers as well as an American favorite composer. These selections will delight and entertain you, as well as, give you insight as to the hard work and talent of the music program here at Calvary. University.

It’s not too late to join the Calvary Masterworks Chorus!! You can still come on MONDAY, September 11. Don’t miss this great opportunity to sing this wonderful work! Sign up now!!
The 2017 Calvary Masterworks Chorus presents Felix Mendelssohn’s “Elijah”
“Elijah” is an epic retelling of the Old Testament story of the prophet Elijah. Alongside Handel’s “Messiah,” this piece is considered one of the greatest oratorios ever written with music that conveys sheer power and emotion. Mendelssohn was determined that the drama of the story should be of central importance, and dramatic it certainly is! A story of a curse that brings the scourge of drought, followed by despair, wickedness, cruelty, relief, tenderness, and mercy. The turmoil is finally resolved in an impassioned chorus of praise to the “Lord, our Creator.”
A word from Jeremy Schell, our Director:
The Music Department at Calvary University invites you to be a part of this year’s Masterworks Chorus as we present Mendelssohn’s Elijah! This incredible choral work tells the story of Elijah from Scripture and is considered one of the “must do” choral pieces for any singer.
Our first rehearsal is Monday, August 28 at 7:00 pm at Calvary University, in Liberty Chapel. We will rehearse every Monday following (except Labor Day) until our performance on Friday, November 10 at 7:30 pm.
The cost to join the choir is $25 per person and $50 for a family. You may sign-up at our first rehearsal, or by clicking HERE.
If you plan to join us, please reply as soon as possible so we can prepare music ahead of time. If you’re interested in getting your own copy, we are using the Schirmer edition: https://www.amazon.com/Elijah-Oratorio-Baritone-Schirmers-Oratorios/dp/0793545595/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1496153310&sr=1-1&keywords=mendelssohn+elijah
