Malmgren Concert Series — “Lamentation and Joy”

The Malmgren Concert Series of Hendricks Chapel invites you to “Lamentation and Joy” on Thursday, October 10 at 8 PM. Esteemed guest conductor Marques L. A. Garrett will lead the combined choirs of the Setnor School of Music and the Syracuse University Oratorio Society in an evening of powerful choral works. The program features “The Cry of Jeremiah” by renowned composer Rosephanye Powell, a stirring multi-movement oratorio for choir and organ based on the text from the 29th chapter of Jeremiah. Additionally, the Hendricks Chapel Choir will give the world premiere of Natalie Draper’s “The Cloths of Heaven,” the Concert Choir will perform Nathaniel Dett’s “Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler,” and the combined choirs will close the evening with Garrett’s own compositions, “A Song of Life” and “Your Hand and Mine.” Marques L. A. Garrett, an associate professor of choral studies at the University of North Texas, is celebrated for his work as a conductor, composer, and researcher. He will be in residency at

Syracuse University, working closely with each of the choirs throughout the week leading up to the concert. Garrett’s extensive experience and dedication to showcasing non-idiomatic choral music by Black composers bring a unique and enriching perspective to this special performance. Previously, Garrett visited Hendricks Chapel in March of 2023 as a member of the Jason Max Ferdinand singers. Join us for an evening that promises to uplift and inspire through the shared power of music. For more info, visit Marques L. A. Garrett’s website.
