Two performances have been scheduled, at 3 and 4:30 p.m. As a college choir, the Singers are similar in quality to the best professional and college choirs m the country. The group was organ ized approximately fifteen years ago. This past September, however, the group was reorganized ilito a symphonic concert tour. The structure of the choir is formed about the idea of matched mixed quartets. Each group of four is blended within itself, then all the quartets are voiced to each other to form the desired sound. The situ ation demands independence from each voice. The new organization creates gratef tonal unity and pre cision of articulation. Mr. Leon Lishner, Mr. Jack Snider, and a brass ensemble will be featured along with the Singers. The concert includes, "Fanfare for Christmas Day," Shaw; "Break Forth, 0 Bethlehem Town," a tra ditional Bohemian carol; "Carol of the Drum," a Czech carol; "Carol of the Doves," a Polish j carol; "touro Louro Louro," a French carol; 'Hushing Carol," a con temporary carol; "I Saw Three Ships," an English carol; "Three Carols," Warlock; "Five Modern istic Carols," Gross; .
