The first Sterling College concert of the year will be accompanied by guest composer Heather Sorenson as the ninth performance in the annual Composer Series. The concert, consisting of songs composed and arranged by Sorenson, will take place Monday, Oct. 29, at 7 p.m. at the Sterling United Presbyterian Church. The event is free and open to the public.

In addition to the choir, Sorenson will perform selected works and accompany students singing from her solo and duet literature. Selected works include “Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy,” “Psalm 23,” “Shout Unto God” and “The Stand.”

Sorenson was the arranger and orchestrator of the new critically acclaimed neo-classical oratorio EXODUS, which had its world premiere on President's Day of 2015. She taught all elementary levels of music at Grace Academy of Dallas for four years, served as an adjunct music professor at Baylor University, and has served on many master class panels in piano and songwriting. Sorenson regularly is a guest speaker and conductor at churches across America, and leads scores of sessions each year at various worship conferences, schools, and universities.
