The Swingle Singers perform a repertoire that encompasses contemporary opera, jazz standards, film and television soundtracks, pop and folk tunes, and instrumental classics. For this performance, The Swingle Singers will perform tunes ranging from Bach to Sondheim to Lennon/McCartney. They will be joined by the University Singers, led by Peter Eklund, for two numbers: Straighten Up and Fly Right by Nat King Cole and Irving Mills and The Lady is a Tramp by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart.

Eklund, assistant professor at the School of Music, will give a talk 30 minutes before curtain in the Lied Center Steinhart Room.
