NACOGDOCHES, Texas - The Stephen F. Austin State University College of Fine Arts and School of Music will present the Choral Union and Women's Choir in concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 7, in Cole Concert Hall on the SFA campus.
The choirs will perform the program "Americana" highlighting works by American composers. An array of American styles, such as jazz, spirituals, Broadway and folk songs will be featured, according to Dr. Tod Fish, associate director of choral activities at SFA and the choirs' director.

The Women's Choir will sing Kirby Shaw's arrangement of "When I Fall in Love," "I Will Be Earth" by Gwyneth Walker, and "I Hear America Singing" by Andre Thomas.
