April 19, 2008, 7:30 PM and April 20, 2008, 2:00 PM

Gospel and other forms of contemporary sacred music, such as jazz, have always been audience favorites, so we're going to feature those genres in our final concert this season. The concert will be built around Michael Kissinger's Sacred Cantata, which features a number of different musical styles, from gospel to ballad to country, all done with a light jazz flair. We'll be rounding things out with other jazz and contemporary anthems, as well as a set of hand-clapping gospel pieces.

Our Repertoire

Some of our repertoire highlights have included John Rutter's Gloria with brass, organ and percussion, Haydn's Mass In Time of War with full orchestra, and Vivaldi's Gloria and Beetohoven's Ninth Symphony as joint collaborations with the Coeur d'Alene Symphony Orchestra.
