Music in Nature
Music on the Hill opens its fall season on October 14th with a concert featuring 12 pro voices.
Music on the Hill opens its fall season with Music in Nature, a concert of the Chamber Chorus -- 12 pro voices -- with artistic directors David H. Connell and Ellen Dickinson. The concert is Sunday, October 14, at 3 p.m. at Wilton Presbyterian Church, 48 New Canaan Road. Donations will be welcomed; $20 suggested.
Dr. Connell conducts a stirring and contemplative program of works by notable contemporary composers: Finzi, Górecki, Hovhaness, Paulus, and Whitacre. Selections, which range from a setting of ancient Chinese poetry to a song of the anti-apartheid movement, take full advantage of these high caliber voices and the venue’s vibrant acoustics. Nature recurs as a grounding and restorative theme.
The Chamber Chorus, known for impeccable a capella performance, is Music on the Hill's professional choral ensemble. It is featured in a spring and fall concert each year.
