On Saturday evening May 6 at the Waterbury Congregational Church and Sunday evening May 7 at the Warren United Church, Mad River Chorale will “Spring into Song” with a varied program of choral music to herald and celebrate the new season. Both concerts will begin at 7:30 p.m.
The 40-strong choral ensemble will sing works by Haydn, Mendelssohn, Brahms, John Rutter, Vermont composer Gwyneth Walker, and other contemporary American composers. The theme of springtime, re-awakening, and general joy as winter ends will usher in the greening time Vermonters anticipate with delight as the snow melts from the mountains.
Mad River Chorale is an adult community chorus rehearsing at Harwood UHS and drawing singers from the Mad River Valley, Waterbury, and beyond. Conductor Arthur Zorn, former Chair of the Fine Arts Department at Spaulding High School, current music director at Bethany Church, composer and bass soloist, brings his wide experience of choral music to the group. With the help of accompanist Mary Jane Austin of Monteverdi Music School and Sky Meadow Chamber Players and vocal coach at the EPCASO opera program in Italy, Arthur elicits a high level of performance from the group of local singers.
