Monmouth Civic Chorus November 2014 Concert- Over There

The Monmouth Civic Chorus helps celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Monmouth Conservatory of Music with Over There, a joint concert of English music written at the start of World War I. The evening is dedicated to the late Felix Molzer, past director of both the Conservatory and the Chorus. The concert is on Saturday, November 8, 2014, 4:00 pm at the First Presbyterian Church, 255 Harding Road (Tower Hill), Red Bank, New Jersey.

Artistic Director Ryan James Brandau holds the Doctor of Musical Arts and Master of Music degrees from the Yale School of Music, an MPhil in historical musicology from the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom), and a BA in Music from Princeton University. He returned to the New York/New Jersey area from California, where he was the Artistic Director of the Santa Clara Chorale, and the Director of Choral Activities and faculty member at Santa Clara University. Dr. Brandau is the Artistic Director of Princeton Pro Musica and works with the Symphonic Choir at Westminster Choir College of Rider University.

The Monmouth Civic Chorus has been called “close to perfect” (Asbury Park Press), “alive and evocative” (The Star-Ledger) and “exceptional” (Red Bank Green).
