The Middlebury College Community Chorus presents its annual fall concert to celebrate Thanksgiving at Mead Chapel on the Middlebury College campus on Sunday afternoon, November 23. The 3:00 p.m. concert is free and open to the public.
The concert starts with pieces by George Frederick Handel and Franz Joseph Haydn as well as tributes to composer Stephen Paulus and singer Pete Seeger who passed away this year. The second half of the program will be selections from a beautiful new piece by Middlebury composer Sam Guarnaccia - the Emergent Universe Oratorio. The four poems set for chorus will be accompanied by a chamber group of some of Vermont's finest musicians. Conductor Jeff Rehbach notes, "The Chorus is especially privileged this season to be performing works by great composers of the past, alongside amazing new music by Middlebury composer Sam Guarnaccia. These pieces celebrate and honor the amazing universe in which we live." This will be a truly exciting and unique concert for our community.
