Hearing VOICES in Carnegie Hall? |
|
YES!!! VOICES Chorale returned to the Carnegie Hall stage in New York City with a performance of Jubilate under the baton of composer Bob Chilcott on November 20. The chorale was enthralled by the British musician’s demonstration of phrasing for meaning and the gentleness of his voice in conveying his performance intentions for the composition. Choristers from London, New York and New Orleans joined VOICES Chorale and the New England Symphonic Ensemble for the performance. This poignant work will be performed locally by the VOICES on May 12 and 13 in our own spring concert series. The program featured Jubilate by Bob Chilcott (who also conducted the concert with Miklos Takacz), G.F. Handel's Coronation Anthem #2, "The King Shall Rejoice" and Mozart's Requiem. We hope you enjoyed "autumn in New York" with the sounds of VOICES! |

Matthew Shaw, baritone, will be the soloist in Fantasia on
Christmas Carols, by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Mr. Shaw opened the Carnegie
Hall season on September 16 under the baton of Ton Koopman as soloist in
Bach’s Cantata BMV 146. He was a finalist in the Chimay
International Baroque Singing Competition, and he covered the role of Aeneas in
a tour of Dido and Aeneas with the Aix-en-Provence Festival. He sang
Italienisches Liederbuch at the Austrian Cultural Forum and made his
debut at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center as soloist in Solomon with
the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. 
Rochelle Ellis, soprano, a favorite with VOICES
Chorale audiences, will present Mozart’s Laudate Dominum with the
chorale and will add a few of her own seasonal favorites to the program. Her
Carnegie Hall debut was as soloist for Schubert's Mass in G and
Bach’s Cantata 140 with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s and the
Westminster Choir, conducted by Joseph Flummerfelt. Ms. Ellis’
international concert debut was performing the Verdi Requiem with the
National Opera of China in Beijing with conductor Lyndon Woodside and the
Oratorio Society of New York. |

Something old
is Bach’s Cantata 196, Der Herr denket an uns,
written for a wedding in 1708. |
What wedding is complete without the bride and groom’s dance inspired by Strauss? The Liebeslieder Waltzes by Johannes Brahms are delightfully flirtatious. And, Who is Sylvia? is answered in the inimitable manner of P.D.Q. Bach. |
