Concert Season

  • “Gloria-ous Holiday Music”

    HOLIDAY CONCERT • DECEMBER 15, 2024 • 7PM

    The “Gloria in Excelsis” (Glory to God in the Highest) text has been set to music for a millennium by the greatest master composers. We will perform some of the most thrilling including settings by Beethoven, Jenkins, Randall, Pickett and Bass. What do you get when you perform a group of “Glorias”? You get the most “Gloria-ous Holiday Music” ever, and a concert you do not want to miss.

  • “Transcendental Journey”

    CLASSICAL CONCERT • MARCH 16, 2025 • 7PM

    The Requiem by Maurice Durufle is one of the greatest choral works of the 20th century. Based on Gregorian themes and adorned with truly transcendent harmonies the music transports you to an enchanted, ethereal place. As we conclude our 75th year, we find that the very composer we commissioned to celebrate our 50th is now our director. We will present a command performance of “Resounding Praise” and other delightful selections by Faure, Kean and Hagenberg in our program as well.

  • “Portrait in Blue”

    SPRING CONCERT • JUNE 15, 2025 • 7PM

    When it comes to colors in music, the “blues” are a world unto themselves. We will explore the many hues of blue, from the Blues, Blue Moon, Blue Velvet and Blue Skies to movements of the Mass set to bluegrass and jazzy blues. It promises to be a colorful excursion that will delight both the aural and visual senses.
