Concert: Immortal Bach

Excited this coming Saturday to sing with Voce in our third concert of the season: Immortal Bach.  This is a concert filled with great rep, all inspired in one way or another by J.S. Bach.  You’ll hear some Nystedt, Mendelssohn, Gjello, and of course, Bach himself, among other pieces.  I’m especially looking forward to this concert because a couple of my high school students will be joining Voce in singing “Schicksalslied,” by Brahms.  I’m so proud at how quickly and well they have learned 12 minutes of German (not to mention all of the musical challenges!).  The concert is, as always, at Immanuel Congregational Church in Hartford, starting at 7:30pm.  Tickets are $20, available at the door.  I’d love to see you there!

Concert: Wesleyan University Choir

This evening I have the pleasure of serving as a guest conductor in performance with the Wesleyan University Concert Choir.  The ensemble will be singing a full concert under the direction of Nadya Potemkina at 7pm in the Memorial Chapel on campus.  As a part of this concert, I will be conducting the women and a small instrumental ensemble in Renee Clausen’s Psalm 100.  I have been rehearsing this piece with the choir each week for 30 minutes.  It has been an honor working with them, and I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of their hard work come to fruition this evening!  The concert is free and open to all.
