  The Berea College Concert Choir coming to Asbury on March 10-12
The Asbury Sacred Arts Series presents The Berea College Concert Choir under the direction of Dr. Stephen Bolster. The Choir consists of about 60 undergraduate men and women chosen by audition each year from the Berea College student body. Choir members represent the true diversity of Berea College in all its aspects—ethnic background, race, nationality, and major.  Music majors comprise about one quarter of the membership.
 
Asbury will not only host the concert but also offer the hospitality of home stays to the students and leaders. Please consider housing two or more of our guests. There are 57 people to house, and we will need 28 homes (5 of them cat-free). There are no allergies to other house critters. Hospitality forms are available in the parlor.
