This final concert of our 70th Anniversary Season will feature contemporary musical gems by masters of choral composition. The concert will open with a work that The Chorale premiered in 1947, Aaron Copland's In The Beginning, for mezzo-soprano soloist and a cappella choir.  Following Avner Dorman's evocative  (New York Premiere), Toru Takemitsu's pensive All That the Man Left Behind When He Died, and Krzysztof Penderecki's ethereal Song of the Cherubim, The Chorale will conclude the season with Francis Poulenc's lovely and treasured Gloria, with esteemed organist Christopher Creaghan. 

The sanctuary of St. Bartholomew's Church will provide a beautiful setting for this music, conducted by The Chorale's Music Director, James Bagwell.
