Chromatica invites you to be moved by exquisite choral music at 7pm on April 25 at Peace Lutheran Church, 3201 Camino Tassajara in Danville, and at 4pm on April 26 at Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church, 433 Moraga Way in Orinda. The Danville concert will include Chromatica’s popular post-concert reception.

Fresh from its first out of town performance in January in Santa Fe, New Mexico where it received a standing ovation for its performance of Christopher Tin’s Transfigurations, Chromatica returns with a selection of thrilling choral pieces for its Spring concerts. David Huff, Chromatica’s founding director, has assembled some remarkable pieces sung in English, Latin, German and Spanish to illustrate the enduring power of great choral music. Some compositions will include stringed accompaniment.

Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote the poem There is sweet music here in the 19^th century to celebrate the emotional impact of music. In a setting composed by Zachary Moore, it frames Chromatica’s spring concerts.

Brahms, Schubert and Schumann were all masters of vocal music, and the concerts include Brahms Abendlied, Schubert’s An Die Musik, and Schumann’s Widmung. Mozart’s Sanctus from his Requiem, and Bruckner’s Locus Iste add more classical weight.

There are two Alleluias – one by Buxtehude and one more modern by Randall Thompson. Contemporary pieces by Randall Stroope (the lovely Amor de mi Alma), two pieces by Ola Gjeilo, and Dan Forrest’s The Sun Never Says add a modern emphasis to the concerts.

“It has always been Chromatica’s goal to identify and perform the best of choral music. These concerts show the extraordinary depth and beauty of choral writing across several centuries. Performing these pieces is both a privilege and a joy – and I’m sure our audience will love them” said David Huff, founding artistic director.

Concert tickets:

Tickets are $30 for adults, $10 for students, and children 10 and under are admitted free. For concert tickets and to find out more about Chromatica, visit our website at www.chromaticachorale.org. Tickets for all concerts are also available at the door. For a more personal look you can find us on Instagram (@chromaticachorale) or at Chromatica on Facebook.
