Great Concert Coming Up Nov. 17

Past event
Nov 17, 2018, 7:30 to 9 PM

Hi Neighbors,

Burlington Choral Society singers are excited to announce our fall concert. We will present Birthday Odes on Saturday, Nov. 17, 7:30 p.m. at the College Street Congregational Church, 265 College St., in Burlington, VT.

Artistic director Richard Riley and the chorus invite you to celebrate Leonard Bernstein's 100th birthday with his glorious Chichester Psalms. Sung in Hebrew, this is Bernstein's best known choral work, moving from joyous to boisterous to tender. Thrilling music!

George Friedrich Handel's Birthday Ode for Queen Anne, Eternal Source of Light Divine -- as heard at the recent royal wedding -- and Henry Purcell's Birthday Ode for Queen Mary, Come, Ye Sons of Art, will complete the festive evening.

Joining us will be soloists Mary Bonhag, soprano; Eric Jurenas, countertenor; Andrew Padgett, bass. Instrumentalists will be Jenny Bower, organ and the Burlington Birthday Orchestra.

Tickets go on sale at the Flynn Box Office, (802) 86-FLYNN and at flynntix.org next week.

Hoping to see you at the concert,
