The Evansville Philharmonic Chorus, under director Andrea Drury, will perform Americana, Spirituals, Irish melodies and American folk music at the concert. Choir members are aged between 20 and 80 years. Many have sung with the Chorus since its foundation in 1977. Singers are drawn from across the Tri-State Area (Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio ).
