Chorales, school and collegiate choruses pretty much all follow the rhythm of the school year, meaning that we would expect most such ensembles to be at the end of their seasons, if not done already. If you assumed that the local groups are done, you would be mostly right. However, two local chorales and one college choral department, four ensembles in all, are offering their end of season performances in the next two weeks. These concerts are listed below with links to the group’s sites for more information.
From these concerts until mid fall most opportunities to hear choral music in our area will be in church, in small doses and under very varied conditions. This makes me think of one of those highway signs starting with the words “Last chance…”
Of course, any news of summer singing that reaches me will appear here, along with other tidbits about singing opportunities that can be found to share.
