The Dudley Birder Chorale of St. Norbert College will present its annual All Saints & Veterans Day Concert: “Eternal Light!” on Friday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m. The concert will take place at the Walter Theatre in the Abbot Pennings Hall of Fine Arts on the college’s campus. It is open to the public.

The concert’s main piece, “Lux Aeterna" (Latin for “eternal light") has been selected as an homage to loved ones who have passed. Other concert selections include songs honoring veterans, crowd favorites such as “Amazing Grace” and a special feature of “Hymn to the Fallen” from the movie “Saving Private Ryan,” accompanied by a video tribute to deceased veterans. Chapter 3 of Wisconsin’s Disabled American Veterans branch will be in the Walter Theatre lobby before the concert and during intermission to provide information about the organization’s mission, benefits for veterans and membership opportunities.

Immediately after the concert, the chorale will host an “After Glow” celebration featuring a taco buffet from St. Norbert College’s nationally renowned catering service, a cash bar and desserts. The celebration will take place in the Michels Commons Ballroom on the college’s campus. It is open to the public.

Admission to the After Glow celebration is $10 per person. Concert tickets purchased in advance are $19; tickets bought at the door are $25. Tickets for both events
can be purchased at https://www.snc.edu/birderchorale/events.html.
