In their 23-year history, the South Bend Chamber Singers have performed many masses. But they have never performed one like this ─ bluegrass style. This concert features the Indiana premier of American composer Carol Barnett’s The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass. The South Bend Chamber Singers will be joined by Minnesota’s electrifying bluegrass band, Monroe Crossing.

The video is of a performance of The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass that Monroe Crossing performed with the ISU Singers and the Ames Chamber Artists.

This concert is co-sponsored by the South Bend Chamber Singers, the Shaheen/Duggan Performing Arts Series and the Office of Special Events.
