Holiday Concert at St. Paul's Church Saturday Dec. 6

Like a lantern that welcomes a weary traveler out of the dark cold night, Empire City Men’s Chorus welcomes the audience on a musical journey celebrating hope, human kindness and remembrance of those in need.

On Saturday, December 6, 2014 at 8:00 pm at St. Paul’s Church, Gotham Performing Arts presents the Empire City Men’s Chorus (ECMC) December 2014 Concert Series A STABLE LAMP IS LIGHTED with Interim Artistic Director Vince Peterson with Principal Accompanist Alden Gatt on piano.

Whether it is the longing of missing loved ones who are overseas fighting or children who have lost their parents and their home, ECMC recognizes that we all search for a place of respite in a tumultuous world. ECMC will sing pieces a cappella, with piano accompaniment and also with our audience. Musical highlights include:

 Debussy’s Noel for Homeless Children

 Tindley’s The Storm is Passing Over

 Whitacre’s Lux Aurumque

 Standards like Loesser’s Baby, It’s Cold Outside and classics like Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

The Empire City Men’s Chorus, founded in 1993 and based in New York city, is renowned for its eclectic multilingual repertoire of predominantly classical music. ECMC consistently present concerts which boast a variety of well-known composers as well as newly commissioned works by exciting young composers. ECMC believes that choral music can be a compelling artistic response to pressing issues within our communities.
