Westminster Choir Appears
In Goldsboro November 16
The famed Westminster Choir
will appear here on November
16, 1949 at Goldsboro High
Scliool. This year marks the 28th
season this concert group of
forty voices has been, before the
concert public.
The Westminster Choir was
firs! organized to serve as the
volunteer choir of the Westmin
ster Presbyterian Church of
Dayton, Ohio. lliougJit the choir
retains the name it had in its
afl'ilialion with this church, it
Ls no longer a church choir but
the touring concert unit of West
minster Choir College' in Prince
ton. New Jersey. John Finley
Williamson, founder and pres-i-
dent of the Westminster choir.
In contrast to the present high
ly trained personel of the group
selected from the college student
body of four hundred, the mem
bers of the first choir were busi
ness men and women and house
wives who devoted their leis-ure
hours to singing under the in
spiring direction of Mr. William
son, then minister of music at
the Westminster Church.
So exacting was the singing
of this volunteer group that its
fame spread, and people began
visiting Dayton to hear it. Called
upon to sing at an increasing
number of meetings and gather
ings, it was placed under tlie di
rection of a concert manager,
and in 1921 undertook its first
tour.
Since this initial tour, the
Westminster has sung through
out the United States, Cuba and
Canada, made Eui'c\i)ean tours in
1929 and 1934 wnich included
England, Scotland and thirteen
countries on the continent and
Russia.
Celebrated for the catholicity
its- programs, the choir presents
a repertory ranging from early
Italian masters to contemporary
composers. Of great popular ap
peal is its singing of American
Folk Songs.
