The Dudley Birder Chorale will present its annual All Saints Day Concert in Walter Theatre of the Abbot Pennings Hall of Fine Arts on the St. Norbert College campus, Friday, Oct. 27, at 7:30 p.m.

The All Saints Day concert, which originated 44 years ago, is performed each year in memory of deceased and living members of the greater Green Bay community.

The concert will feature, direct from Carnegie Hall, Dan Forrest's "Requiem for the Living" to be accompanied by a special instrumental chamber ensemble consisting of Jacob Roseman, flute; Leslie Michelic, oboe; Andrew Parks, horn; Tammy Naze, harp; James Robl, Percussion; Todd Truesdale, timpani; Jeffrey Verkuilen, organ; and a professional 12-piece string orchestra.

Soloists for the program will be soprano Rita Baretta, St. Norbert College instructor and mezzo soprano Linda Feldmann and tenor Tim Olejniczak.

As is tradition for the annual concert, the program will conclude with the reading of names in a candlelight ceremony to celebrate living and departed saints, and a performance of "For All the Saints."
The 150-voice chorale will be conducted by Dudley Birder, and accompanied by a 40-piece orchestra composed of members of the former Green Bay Symphony.
