Join the Towson University Choral Society for its annual Spring Concert — an inspiring evening of music celebrating hope, strength, and the power of the human spirit, featuring Rollo Dilworth’s stirring Weather: Stand the Storm.

Choral Society is a non-auditioned choir open to all Towson University undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff, as well as members of the Towson and Baltimore communities who share a love for singing.

Each semester, the choir performs a diverse repertoire, ranging from classical and folk traditions to gospel and Broadway selections. Choral Society frequently collaborates with other TU choirs and ensembles, with past performances including Mozart’s Coronation Mass, Vivaldi’s Gloria, and Ariel Ramírez’s Misa Criolla.

More than just a choir, Choral Society is a welcoming and vibrant community. As one member beautifully put it, “There is magic in the collaboration and fellowship when people sing together.”

"None of us could have imagined what it's like to see Joey Alexander play that piano with such mastery. The thing is, when you see him play live, you quickly forget his age and get lost in the intense focus of his performance...The crowd was both mesmerized and humbled." — NPR MUSIC

Bali, Indonesia-born pianist, composer, and bandleader Joey Alexander has been performing professionally since 2013 when Wynton Marsalis invited him to perform at the Jazz at Lincoln Center Gala. Since a tender age, Joey has been widely regarded as one of the most highly skilled pianists and thoughtful improvisers in jazz.

Alexander’s albums have netted three GRAMMY® Award nominations: one for Best Jazz Instrumental Album (My Favorite Things) and two for Best Improvised Jazz Solo (“Giant Steps,” from My Favorite Things, and “Countdown” from the album of the same name), with My Favorite Things and Countdown securing the No. 1 spot on the Billboard jazz charts and Eclipse coming at No. 3. Over the course of his astonishing career, Alexander has performed with Wayne Shorter and Esperanza Spalding at the Obama White House, for President Bill Clinton at the Arthur Ashe Learning Center Gala, at the Grand Ole Opry, the Apollo Theater, Carnegie Hall, and at major jazz festivals and nightclubs around the world with top-shelf collaborators like Larry Grenadier, Kendrick Scott, Chris Potter and many others.

A public reception will take place on Wednesday, April 22 from 5 PM to 7 PM.

About the Artist:
Roo Taylor (b. 2003) is a Baltimore-based artist originally from Denver, Colorado. She earned her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and is currently a resident artist at the Creative Alliance in Baltimore. Working primarily with high-flow acrylic paint and acrylic ink, Taylor uses transparency and layered color to create abstract landscapes. Her work explores the interplay between the natural world and human relationships, exploring the emotional and atmospheric depth through fluid, natural spaces. Her artwork has been exhibited in galleries across Baltimore, Denver and New York, as well as internationally at the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art in Japan.

Using light and color as metaphors for energy, Roo Taylor’s work traces the through lines between the natural world and human connection. Rooted in a deep reverence for transparency and hue, each piece is meant to reflect on the connection between feeling and form. Taylor invites viewers to experience emotional resonance as something inherently natural, alive, layered, and luminous.
