Nevertheless, they produce a seamless choral sound that reflects both a love of music and a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of choral performance.\u201d The 80-voice ensemble, under the direction of Furman music professor Hugh Floyd, continues a tradition of performance that is more than 65 years old. The Singers\u2019 concert program during the tour features both sacred and secular music ranging from an early English Anthem of the Tudor period, to a new student work composed for the Singers and premiered on the tour."}
