The Genevans to perform

"MY Father's World" is the theme of a concert of sacred and secular music by The Genevans, the 40-voice choir of Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, USA.

It will be presented on Tuesday 18th May at 8.00pm in Ballyclabber Reformed Presbyterian Church Hall, Coleraine.

The theme of the concert is taken from the familiar hymn “This Is My Father’s World.” Included are sacred and secular works, ranging from the Renaissance to the contemporary, including folk-songs, spirituals and hymns, and Russian church music.
