Our Fall Concert features selections from the John Rutter's Requiem,
Mortin Lauridsen's Lux Aeterna, Johaness Brahms' A German
Requiem, Mount of Olives by Ludwig van Beethoven, John Rutter's Gloria,
and of course Handel's Messiah, at works by Gabnriel Faure, Felix
Mendelssohn, local favorite Dan Bukvich, and other contemporary composers,
and you'll experience a true "best of" concert.
Our Christmas concert, "Come Home to the Sounds and Spirit of Christmas" will
feature a wide variety of favorites performed by the Chorale, and once
again we'll be joined by special guest artists Leslie Stratton Norris,
harp, Dr.Paul Grove, guitar, Max Mendez, baritone, Cynthia Marlette, piano
and the harmonies of the Sweet Adelines. There will no doubt be a surprise
guest or two.
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.
