UAHuntsville Tour of Southern Cal Starts with a Bang in Huntsville

The UAHuntsville Chamber Choir will tour Los Angeles with a program of new music and works from the choral canon. On the program are the sublime "Six Chansons" by Paul Hindemith, set to the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. Also on the program is the “Kyrie” and "Gloria" from Palestrina’s "Missa Papae Marcelli", written for Pope Marcellus II while simultaneously satisfying the mandates put forth by the new Council of Trent. The Choir will feature their pianist, Curtis Lindsay, while performing Brahms’ "Sehnsucht", op. 112, no. 1 along with the humorous "Neckerein", op. 31, no. 2. The music of contemporary English composer Tarik O’Regan will also be in the spotlight with a performance of "Threshold of Night", made famous by the well-known professional choir Conspirare’s recent recording. Finally, the choir will close with a well-known spiritual, "Precious Lord", followed by Gustav Holst’s setting of "Nunc dimittis". Please join them for their final concert in Huntsville before they depart for sunny SoCal. Concert will be held of St. Mary's Church of the Visitation in downtown Huntsville on Friday, March 16 at 730pm. http://www.uah.edu/music/ http://smvparish.org/ _________________________________________________________ Our L.A. tour dates are as follows: Monday, March 19 Workshop with Dr. Scheibe at the University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA 1030am Tuesday, March 20 Choir Exchange with Cal State Fullerton's University Singers Fullerton, CA 4pm Thursday, March 22 w/Cincinnati Boy Choir (Chris Eanes, conductor) St. James Episcopal, Pasadena, CA 730pm Friday, March 23 w/Cincinnati Boy Choir and Horizon Music Group (Christian Campos, conductor) Riviera United Methodist, Redondo Beach, CA 730pm Saturday, March 24 w/Cincinnati Boy Choir and Horizon Music Group (Christian Campos, conductor) Immanuel Presbyterian, Los Angeles, CA 730pm
