North Shore Choral Society 73rd Season 2008-2009
Today marks the end of our season titled New Directions. For the past nine months, the singers of the North Shore Choral Society have had the pleasure of singing and learning under the direction of three talented musicians who have prepared us to present three engaging concerts.
Last November, Julia Davids made the standard movements of the traditional Mass an “extraordinary” experience through the music of eight different composers.
In March, David Štech gave us “music for the soul” in psalms set to music by Bernstein and Rachmaninoff, plus Durufl é’s memorable Requiem.
And this afternoon, David H. Edelfelt moves the chorus to shed “ethereal light” on works by Gabriel Fauré (his well-known and well-loved Requiem, plus Pavane, a wordless vocalise) and Morten Lauridsen (his choral masterwork Lux Aeterna). Please take a few minutes to read David’s extensive and enlightening program notes elsewhere in this program.
In the next few weeks, the NSCS Board of Directors will select one of these three to become our new Music Director. Those of you who have attended all three concerts know how diffi cult this decision will be. We are guaranteed, however, that whoever succeeds to this position is fully capable of continuing the legacy of quality choral music established by the Society.
If you are not on our mailing list and would like information about our next season, please leave your name and address at the box offi ce today. If you are, please join us again in the fall to see just where these “new directions” are taking us.
