Support Your Chorale!

The Coeur d'Alene area is well on its way to becoming one of the premiere musical centers of Idaho and of the northwest. The Northwest Sacred Music Chorale is proud to be a part of this dynamic cultural scene.

The expenses to maintain a viable music organization are great, and thus far much of the burden has fallen to the participants themselves to fund those expenditures. Our area is brimming with choral musicians hungry to use their talents to bring high quality performances to this community. Our muscians have paid well over $100 each year just for the opportunity to participate in this invaluable endeavor. With generous donations from local businesses and individuals, we can accomplish even more.

May we suggest you take a look at our Summer Vacation Drawing/Raffle.

Last but not least, show your support of the Chorale by attending our performances! Together we can continue to build a program that will put Coeur d'Alene on the map of musical achievement. We pledge to you a chorale that will be a community treasure for many years to come.

It is with the deepest thanks that we honor the following:

Concert Schedule

November 3, 2007 7:30 PM and November 4, 2007, 2:00 PM

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.

December 19, 2007, 7:00 PM at a new venue -> St. Pius Catholic Church, 625 Haycraft Ave., in Coeur d'Alene

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.

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.
