A rare eighteenth-century chamber work written for women's voices, string quartet and organ is the centerpiece of "Winter's Promise," the annual holiday concert of the Concord Women's Chorus (CWC) on Saturday, December 21, at 3 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church, 81 Elm Street, Concord. The program features Baldassare Galuppi's singular piece, "Dixit Dominus," as well as a variety of seasonal works by Faure, Holst, Elgar, and Gjeilo, and concludes with a popular audience carol sing and a festive reception. Tickets, available at www.concordwomenschorus.org, are $25 for adults, $20 for students and seniors, and $5 for children twelve and under.
String players performing with the chorus include Beth Welty, violin; Karen Oosterbaan, violin; Noralee Walker, viola; and Johann Soults, cello. Celebrated Boston-based pianist Scott Nicholas will accompany the chorus on piano and organ.
CWC, now in its fifty-fourth season, consists of fifty-five singers from Concord, Westford, and eighteen other Metrowest and Boston-area communities. The chorus performs music written for women's voices and aims to keep this music alive on the concert stage.
