The Lee University Festival Choir has been invited to perform at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration in Washington D.C. in January.
Sen. Lamar Alexander informed the school Thursday at a special ceremony.
“We do not yet know who will be inaugurated president in January,” Alexander said in a press release Thursday, “but we do know who will be singing that day: the Lee University choir.”
Lee University’s performance is set to be immediately before the official swearing-in ceremonies at midday on January 21 in Washington, D.C. The Lee chorus will perform outdoors on the upper west terrace of the United States Capitol.
At the announcement with Lee University President Dr. Paul Conn, Alexander said he recommended the Lee musicians because “their great talent and inspirational musicianship will thrill the millions of people who will be watching the inauguration of our president.”
Alexander issued the invitation on behalf of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, of which he is the Vice Chair.
