Contemporary Voices
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 Psalm 67, Toru Takemitsu's pensive All That the Man Left Behind When He Died, Krzysztof Penderecki's ethereal Song of the Cherubim, The Chorale will conclude the season with Francis Poulenc's beloved Gloria. The sanctuary of Saint Bartholomew's Church will provide a beautiful setting for this music, conducted by The Chorale's Music Director James Bagwell.
