A CHSO concert is a “sharing” of great culture. We have “re-thought” the concert experience and strive to bring it back to what it originally was – which is people coming together as a community – both musicians and audience – to spend an evening exploring and enjoying great music together. CHSO conductors speak to the audience before each work, giving them insights and focal points of the music they are about to share, helping newer audience members to gain a better understanding of the works and enhanced enjoyment and appreciation.

Our 2011-12 Masterworks Season will come to a close on April 28, 2012 with one of the most spectacular concerts yet to be presented at our home venue – the beautifully restored Milford Town Hall Grand Ballroom.
Entitled “Praises” – the program that evening will consist of the Vivaldi “Gloria” and English composer Sir William Walton’s orchestral and choral masterpiece, “Belshazzar’s Feast.”
The CHSO will be joining forces with the New World Chorale, one of the most “in-demand” chorales in New England. New World Chorale has collaborated with CHSO on orchestral and choral concerts throughout our 12 year history, most notably last season’s Beethoven Ninth Symphony.
Walton’s “Belshazzar’s Feast” is one of the most spectacular and colorful works ever written for chorus and orchestra, and one that is very rarely brought to the concert hall – in part because of its sheer immensity of forces needed to perform it.
The story of Belshazzar’s Feast is taken from the Old Testament Book of Daniel, juxtaposed with verses from Isaiah and the Psalms throughout the work.
It is an uplifting and moving story that cuts across all ethnicities and religions with a message for all people.
The performance requires a larger chorus than we have ever seated-- with Baritone voice soloist-- as well as an enlarged orchestra, and will easily rank amongst the most memorable evenings ever shared in our Town Hall. It will be the most expensive Claflin Hill concert production ever mounted, with expenses reaching close to $30,000 for the one night performance.
This concert is NOT to be missed. Order tickets early.
