STARKVILLE, Miss.—Prepare to be mesmerized as the State Singers from the Mississippi State Department of Music showcase a fresh creation from esteemed Swedish composer Mårten Jansson in the upcoming week.
The State Singers, celebrated as MSU’s top choral-vocal group, will unveil Jansson’s latest composition at the “Requiem Novum” event on Feb. 29 at 7 p.m. The concert will take place at Starkville’s First Baptist Church, situated at 106 East Lampkin Street.
During his current residency with the MSU Music Department, Jansson will host a discussion before the performance. Guided by Phillip Stockton, MSU’s interim choral studies director, the choir will enthrall the audience with their rendition.
