“Rejoice Again” will be performed at 3 pm Saturday and at 7:30 pm Sunday. Masks are strongly encouraged.

The performers will all be masked, and the first three rows will be kept empty to create space between the singers and the audience.

Tickets are $12 for the public; $8 for senior citizens; $6 for students not attending UW; and free to UW students with a “W” number. To purchase tickets, visit the Performing Arts box office, call (307) 766-6666, or go online. The concert also will livestreamed.

The performances will feature the choral ensembles Collegiate Chorale, Bel Canto, Civic Chorus, Singing Statesmen, and Happy Jacks, as well as the UW Symphony Orchestra (UWSO) and the Wind Symphony.
