Admission is free, but donations will be accepted and will benefit music scholarships at Boise State University. </P><P> </P><P>Choral selections will include Holst’s eight-part, a cappella arrangement of “Ave Maria,” Mulholland’s “Life Has Loveliness To Sell,” with David Saunders on horn, and a set of folk pieces from South Africa, Scotland, Ireland and African American cultures. The Choristers will also present their own special version of the Ziegfeld Follies with music from Ziegfeld Follies programs of the ’20s and ’30s. </P><P> </P><P>All sets, including the Ziegfeld Follies, will be performed in costumes. Also featured will be the two Boise State music students who received Choristers scholarships this academic year — Johann Vargas, piano, and vocalist Rachael Williams, whose mother and grandmother sing with the Choristers. </P><P> </P><P>Williams’ third generation involvement with the Choristers exemplifies the group’s long history in Boise. Founded in 1919, the Choristers’ goals have been to provide fine music for the community and to assist aspiring musicians financially. That tradition will continue with two scholarships for 2001-02, to be given in memory of longtime Choristers member Frances Groves.
