The Department of Music at Southwest Baptist University will present its annual Masterworks
Concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 24th 2026 in Pike Auditorium. The SBU chorale and
University Singers will perform "The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass" by Carol Barnett.
For almost half of a century, the Masterworks presentation annually provides southwest Missouri audiences the opportunity to experience musical works that are best presented by the combined efforts of department, university and community. The repertoire has included the great classics, unfamiliar pearls, and modern compositions of significance. This year's performance will feature a live bluegrass band.
This event is free and open to the public, although a free-will offering will be taken. For more information, contact the SBU Music Office at (417) 328-1644.
