Neighbor Leads Burlington Choral Society's Music of Estonia Nov. 20
Dear Neighbors,
The Burlington Choral Society, known for performing rarely heard works by classical masters and music new to Vermont audiences, has a concert coming up. As artistic director of the chorus, I can't wait to share music from the small but musically renowned Baltic republic of Estonia with our community. The concert is Friday, Nov. 20, 7:30 p.m. at the Elley-Long Music Center in Colchester.
I will be leading our 75-voice chorus, with the Burlington Chamber Orchestra, in Arvo Pärt's beautiful "Magnificat;" Tõnu Kõrvits' ethereal songs based on folk hymns; and three lively pieces from the Estonian Song Festival, an event where a chorus of 30,000 sings to an audience of 80,000.
There will also be a world premiere on the program -- an evocative piece by Estonian-American composer Lembit Beecher. The Estonian Ambassador to the U.S. will be our guest of honor.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and students. They're available at www.flynntix.org or (802) 863-5966.
Hope to see you there,
