The Canisius College Chorale will continue its 2015-2016 “Sacred Spaces” concert series with a program on Sunday, November 22 at 7:30 p.m. in St. Pius X Church, located at 1700 North French Road in Getzville, NY.
The concert will feature works by Hogan, Mendelssohn, Buxtehude, Dawson, Ticheli and others. Admission is free and open to the public.
The Sacred Spaces concert series stems from an idea proposed nine years ago to feature the chorale’s music in some of Western New York’s most beautiful and acoustically resonant environments – namely, the sanctuaries of our area’s churches. As a result, the choir has visited nearly 40 houses of worship with its repertoire of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries.
Now in its 19th season, the Canisius College Chorale remains one of Western New York’s most active collegiate music ensembles. Composed of 100 undergraduate and graduate members, the chorale regularly presents concert programs to school, church and community audiences throughout Western New York and southern Ontario. In recent years, the chorale has performed with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Ars Nova Chamber Musicians, Amherst Symphony Orchestra, Camerata di Sant’Antonio, Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus and the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
Please join the chorale for a lovely evening of great choral music!

Each year during the month of November, the nation focuses on the contributions of Native Americans by celebrating their rich heritage while recognizing some of the issues they still face today.

Scott on Monday, November 23, at noon in the Regis South Room. This program is free and open to the public.
Parker, of the Tonawanda Seneca Nation of the Heron Clan, is most recently known for his role in getting the Lancaster School Board to change their mascot from the controversial “R-word” to the Lancaster Legends.

During International Education week, the International Student Programs Office will be highlighting some of its bright, talented students.
Today’s student is Erika Suita ’16. Erika is from Japan and is an International Business major.
When asked why she chose to study at Canisius, Erika wrote:
“Canisius has three majors I was interested in, and I felt Canisius was going to take care of me much more than other schools because they care for each student; not only that they do well with classes but that they participate in something other than studying. Also, I wanted to go to a school that makes a strong effort to be international. For those reasons, Canisius is the one which made me really want to come.”
