The Oct. 30 concert features the American Boychoir and some joint selections with the St. Olaf Choir from their recent CD Harmony: American Songs of Faith.

The CD, which includes three selections by the St. Olaf Choir and three combined works with the American Boychoir, is a compilation of camp songs, Sunday school songs, songs of praise and hymns.

The American Boychoir hails from the American Boychoir School in Princeton, N.J., and the boys, grades 4-8, come from nine different states and four foreign countries. St. Olaf Choir Conductor Anton Armstrong served on the American Boychoir summer faculty for more than 20 years. The school, now more than 70 years old, has produced more than 50 commercial recordings and toured extensively around the world.
