Hello, faithful readers. As I previously revealed in my last article, it’s the Chorale’s 35th Anniversary, and we’ve been diligently working to perfect our sound. As we welcome our 35th year of sharing music with our community, we’re polishing our sound and preparing for our upcoming concerts in May. Our concerts will be on Saturdays this year, May 10th and 17th at 2:00 pm, at our beloved venue, the Community Presbyterian Church in Cambria.
One of the songs that truly moves many of us, is “Love Never Fails”, which is based on Corinthians 13:1-8. It brings tears to many who know the true love of another. It is a beautiful song, and the quartet that leads us into this exquisite piece is Diane DeMarco, Gail Rose, Loretta Butterfield, and Denee Signorelli. Have your love next to you on this one, and may I suggest having a tissue or two nearby to wipe the tears away.
The Chorale isn’t shy about trying new things or the refined sound of a classic. We all love a ballad and who knew Bob Dylan would make his way into our selection? But he has. Three of our talented singers will harmonize their voices throughout this treat. This selection will feature the beautiful voices of Debbie Hori, Barb MacDonough, and Kate Perry. Another fun song we all know and love, “Day-O”. Let’s not forget the amazing voice from the Bass Section, Bruce Young, getting us singing our woes of Banana picking of this classic,
Our featured piece is a medley from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast. Michael Green will be our Master of Ceremonies for the opening of this tune. We’re certain that you’ll also enjoy a bit of chant when we perform the beautiful piece “Sing We and Chant It.” Touching and moving to many is the song “And So it Goes.” It features Soprano, Deb Addis. (This song is truly a tear-jerker for many, including this writer.) Another favorite Chorale selection is “Bring Me Little Water, Silvy”. It is a blues ballad, with a solo from our very own, Marci Suvanto, from the Alto Section. Bringing it all together throughout the program, our narrator will be the amazing Steve Dowding. His soothing voice and smile alone will move us all throughout the concert. Thank you, Steve.
