STATE COLLEGE — The Orpheus Singers will present “1,000 Beautiful Things,” a concert at Trinity Lutheran in State College, Saturday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m.
This concert includes texts from the medieval era to the present day, and is inspired by everything and everyone considered beautiful: family, friends, love, faith, humor, nature, even the very essence of the music we make.
