“Over the Rainbow” Lyrics

 

Choir Sings

When all the world is a hopeless jumble

And the raindrops tumble all around,

Heaven opens a magic lane.

When all the clouds darken up the skyway

There’s a rainbow highway to be found,

Leading from your window pane

To a place behind the sun,

Just a step beyond the rain.
 

Audience & Choir Sing

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,

There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
 

Choir Sings

Someday I’ll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops,

That’s where you’ll find me.
 

Audience & Choir Sing

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow; why, then, oh why can’t I?

(Organ Interlude)
 

Choir Sings

Someday I’ll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops,

That’s where you'll find me.
 

Audience & Choir Sing

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow; why, then, oh why can’t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,

Why, oh why can’t I?

Welcome from the Executive Director

Welcome to another extraordinary season of dance and music at Northrop — a season we are proud to offer, inspired by your curiosity, energy and commitment to making the arts a central part of life.

Rooted in the belief that the arts are essential to the human experience, Northrop is committed to cultivating intersections between performing arts and education — for all participants, now and for generations to come. This season, those intersections will be more vibrant than ever. We have curated performances that stretch boundaries, inspire reflection and celebrate both innovation and tradition in equal measure.

You’ll see in this season’s lineup a range of world-class artists and ensembles — some of whom we know well, others who bring voices and perspectives new to our stage. Each program is selected not only for its artistic excellence, but also for its ability to provoke thought, open dialogue and offer learning opportunities beyond the stage: workshops, pre-show discussions, community gatherings and more. These elements are meant to deepen your experience, helping to illuminate context, process and the living, breathing nature of creative work.

As part of the University’s teaching, research and service mission, Northrop strives to be a catalyst — igniting transformation in each individual, inspiring positive change in our world. Through the rhythm of dance, the textures of music and the shared moments among us in the audience, we hope you will find something that moves you, surprises you and invites you to see the world just a little differently.

I invite you to join us not just as spectators, but as participants. Ask questions. Bring friends. Explore more. Share what you experience. We are honored to present this season, and even more honored to share it with a community that values what the arts offer — beauty, challenge, joy and connection.

Thank you for being here and supporting Northrop. Together, let us make Northrop’s 97th season remarkable.

With gratitude,
Kari Schloner
Executive Director

Kelly McQueen

Welcome from the Advisory Board Chair

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the Northrop Advisory Board, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to Northrop, the University of Minnesota’s historic home for the performing arts. For almost a century, Northrop has been a place where artistry, learning and community converge — a stage not only for extraordinary performances but also for dialogue, discovery and inspiration.

Each season, Northrop presents world-class dance, music and other performances, and serves as a gathering place for students, faculty and community members alike. These experiences enrich our campus and our state, fostering the creativity, curiosity and cultural understanding that are so vital in today’s world.

Your presence here affirms the importance of the arts in higher education and in civic life. We invite you to be more than an audience member — become an advocate for the arts. Share your experiences, bring new friends to Northrop and help us amplify the voices of artists and thinkers who inspire us to see the world anew.

We also ask you to consider a gift to Northrop. Your financial support ensures that future generations can access the transformative power of the arts, that students can encounter artists in their classrooms as well as on our stage and that our community can continue to gather here for moments that move and unite us.

Thank you for being part of Northrop’s story. Together, we can sustain this remarkable institution and secure its role as a cultural cornerstone for decades to come.

With gratitude,
Kelly McQueen, Chair, Northrop Advisory Board

The Muscians

With enthusiasm on his face, Matthew Mehaffey directs a choir.

Matthew Mehaffey (Professor of Music, Director of Choral Activities)

American conductor and educator Matthew Mehaffey enjoys a national reputation in the field of choral/orchestral music through his engaging artistry, collaborative spirit, affirming pedagogical style and entrepreneurial approach to concert programming.

Mehaffey serves as professor of music at the University of Minnesota, where he was the 2015 recipient of the Arthur “Red” Motley Exemplary Teaching Award. In addition to conducting the University Singers, he teaches courses in choral literature and conducting. He has been the artistic director of the Oratorio Society of Minnesota (OSM) since 2008. During his leadership, OSM has endeavored to make the genre of oratorio relevant to 21st century audiences. Immersive programs like “The Music of Downton Abbey,” “Victoria!”, “Voices of Light,” “Lest We Forget” and “The Greatest Generation” have delighted audiences and led to OSM being hailed as the “Twin Cities’ foremost presenter of large-scale works for chorus and orchestra” (Pioneer Press). From 2016-2023 he was the music director of the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh, the “Choir of Choice” of the Pittsburgh Symphony. During his tenure the choir received a Grammy nomination for its recording of Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 9” with the Pittsburgh Symphony.

He has published extensively on the topic of choral rehearsal technique with GIA Publications. He and his friend Dave Fielding are currently working on the English Heritage Music Series with the University of Minnesota Libraries. He and his wife Libby have four children.

Choir members sing from the risers of a theater.

University Singers

The University Singers is a 75-voice auditioned ensemble of the University of Minnesota that brings together students from across the campus. The group presents a wide-ranging repertoire of music from across the world's choral traditions.

Greg Zelek (Northrop Organist)

Praised as “extraordinary in the classical music world” (Jon Hornbacher, PBS Wisconsin Life) and a “musical star” (Bill Wineke, Channel 3000), Greg Zelek was appointed Northrop Organist in August 2024. Zelek is known for his inventive programming and collaborations. For the 2025-26 Northrop Music Series, Zelek arranged three unconventional organ pairings for a joyful trilogy of concerts featuring Northrop’s historic pipe organ.

Additionally, Zelek is the principal organist of the Madison Symphony Orchestra (MSO) and curator of the Overture Concert Organ. In this role, Zelek performs and oversees all of the MSO’s organ programming. The MSO Organ Series regularly attracts more than 1,000 ticketed audience members for each of his creatively curated and performed concerts. Since September 2017, he has proudly held the Elaine and Nicholas Mischler Curatorship. In addition to his unique position in Madison, Wisconsin, Zelek is the curator of the Organ Series for the Jacksonville Symphony. 

Zelek performs frequently as a soloist throughout the United States. Always playing his solo programs from memory, he has played and premiered many of the large works of the organ canon, as well as new works that showcase the versatility of the instrument.

In 2016, Zelek was chosen by The Diapason magazine as one of the top “20 Under 30” organists, and has won prizes in numerous organ competitions. He released a recording on the Overture Concert Organ in the fall of 2022. A recipient of the inaugural Kovner Fellowship, he received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees, as well as an artist diploma, from the Juilliard School as a student of Paul Jacobs. Zelek, who is Cuban-American and a native Spanish speaker, grew up in Miami.
