"Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul —
How can I keep from singing?”
Old Quaker Hymn, Robert Wadsworth Lowry
As Covid-19 continues to prevent us from rehearsing and performing in person, the Chorale is grateful to our families, friends, audiences, and donors for support and understanding. We wish everyone health, safety, and community during the continuing international pandemic.
During Covid-19 restrictions, we'll be sending brief biweekly email messages with links to Singer Sidebars, very short videos (usually two minutes or so) that introduce you to some of our singers, virtual performances, and more. Those videos will also be posted here on our homepage.
Click here to sign up for the Chorale's email list. You'll automatically get the latest news about the group's performances and other activities. (And you'll save us money on postage, which we appreciate!)
Virtual Concert
Christmas without singing is inconceivable. Whether your favorite Christmas music memories include symphony chorus performances of Handel's Messiah, hearing—or singing in—church choirs during a candlelit Christmas Eve service, or impromptu party caroling round the piano, we know song has been part of the season every year.
This year is different. Instead of our usual December performances, we're offering something closer to a sing-along around the piano at home--which is where we are. By inviting you into our homes for this virtual performance, we hope to share the warmth and cheer of the season in spite of physical distancing.
Of course, this isn't the first time that so many have been prevented from celebrating Christmas with loved ones. Since 1943, one popular song has embodied the wistful longing for togetherness this time of year. You can listen to our 2020 version of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" by clicking the image below.
All of us wish you and those you love Happy Holidays and a Happy and Healthy New Year!
