Come hear friends and neighbors as the Middlebury Community Chorus celebrates Thanksgiving in song this weekend! "Songs of Rejoicing and Remembrance" will be performed on Saturday evening, November 23 at 7 pm, and again on Sunday afternoon, November 24 at 3pm. Both hour-long concerts take place at Middlebury College's Robison Concert Hall in the Mahaney Arts Center; admission is free.

The program includes a new work by Middlebury composer Peter Hamlin in memory of long-time area residents Grace and Steve Weber; local musician Sam Guarnaccia's inspired setting of 'To See A World'; Johannes Brahms's lyrical elegy Nänie; and a mix of reflective and celebratory works from commemorative songs to toe-tapping gospel and African-inspired choruses. Jeff Rehbach conducts and Tim Guiles accompanies the 110-voice chorus. Players from the Champlain Philharmonic, Middlebury Wind Ensemble, Vermont Symphony, Burlington Civic and Middlebury College orchestras join us to add wonderful color to our sound.
