Concerts
HEROES AND LEGENDS – October 8-9, 2011
These concerts explore some monumental figures – both real and fictitious. We will perform Herbert Howell’s tribute to John F. Kennedy with his Take Him Earth, for Cherishing as well as Bob Chilcott’s stunning arrangement of MLK by U2. We’ll sing three creative stories of Sirens – those mythical beings that lure sailors to their death by singing songs of overpowering beauty – written by Mason Bates (composer in residence with the Chicago Symphony known for his genre-mixing compositional style). Finally, we’ll celebrate some biblical heroes in spirituals by Moses Hogan, perform some favorites from the Beatles (yes, THE Beatles!), and we’ll present the world premiere of a new composition written especially for us by Shawn Crouch.

MODERN RUSSIA – May 5-6, 2012
A program of Russian splendor… Our final concerts feature works by 20th century Russian composer Georgy Vasilyevich Sviridov. Artistic Director Charles Bruffy and the Chorale are committed to bringing attention to lesser-known composers and while Sviridov’s music remains little known in the West, his works receive high praise in his homeland for their memorable lyrical melodies, national flavor and mainly for great expression of Russia and the Russian soul in his music.
