One of the emerging trends in today’s post-pandemic world has been a revival of interest in faith and spiritual guidance, with many religious organizations seeing a rise in new converts particularly among members of the Millennial and Gen Z generations. The Chorale dedicates our spring concert to a celebration of one of choral music’s earliest and most natural functions: the expression of faith and religious devotion through the human voice. We will zoom through history starting with liturgical music from the Renaissance, and then fast forward to the 19th and 20th centuries with some decidedly modern, multicultural and interfaith responses to sacred texts.
Program highlights include Palestrina’s Stabat Mater, Ginastera’s The Lamentations of Jeremiah, Holst’s Hymns from the Rig-Veda, and a selection of African and African-American spirituals.
Tickets: $20 General Admission, $15 Students and Seniors
