Dr. Perry White, director of choral activities at Monmouth College, was recently informed that one of the school’s ensembles, the Chorale, has been selected to perform at the 2001 Illinois Music Educators Association (IMEA) All-State/MENC North Central Conference.

"Honestly, I’ve never had anything this exciting happen in my career," said White, who joined the MC faculty in 1998. "This is big."

The Chorale, which had to audition for the honor, will perform for approximately one hour at the IMEA’s Peoria conference, which is attended by choral educators from throughout Illinois. The exact date and time of the Chorale’s performance will be announced later.

Earlier this year, the 31-member Chorale conducted an eight-city, six-state tour over the college’s spring break.
