The Shoreline Chorale Presents: "Nighttime Odyssey" 4pm on Saturday, May 14th at the First Congregational Church of Madison
Under Music Director Sarah Kaufold and with guest artist Jessie Gutgsell on harp, the Chorale will perform music on its nocturnal theme.
The Shoreline Chorale’s concert, “Nighttime Odyssey” on May 14, will express experiences, emotions, creatures, and escapes of the night with a full concert program of choral and instrumental music. The concert includes renditions of 'Sure on This Shining Night' by Samuel Barber, the dramatic 'Night, Sleep, Death and the Stars' by Daniel Gawthrop, the comedic 'Animal Crackers' by Eric Whitacre, and spirituals of nighttime escapes to freedom.
Featured Guest Artist, harpist Jesse Gutgsell will perform Claude Debussey’s 'Claire de Lune' and Alphonse Hasselmans' 'La Source' and will accompany the Chorale in 'Night, Sleep, Death and the Stars' by Daniel Gawthrop and 'Come to Me, My Love' by Kenneth Riggs.
Ms. Gutgsell has been a professional harpist for over a decade. She began her harp studies in Cleveland, OH at the age of six.
As yet another crowd-pleasing attraction, the popular group, 'The Shoreliners,' will perform a rollicking version of 'In the Still of the Night and the Day' arranged by chorale member Charles Houlihan.
This concert marks the inaugural year under Music Director Sarah Kaufold, who also serves as Minister of Music at St. Mark’s Chapel in Storrs, CT.
Accompanist Joyce Baxter also serves as Music Director at the Clinton Congregational Church.
Since its founding in 1982 by the Shoreline Arts Alliance, The Shoreline Chorale has presented choral arts in a variety of genres for the enjoyment of concert attendees and singers alike.
The Shoreline Chorale will perform “Nighttime Odyssey” at 4pm on Saturday, May 14 at the First Congregational Church of Madison, on the Green.
