Following the performance of two glorious and highly successful concerts during its first year, Hudson Chorale, Westchester’s largest mixed-voice chorus, invites you to join them as they launch their 2011-2012 season with a festive holiday program for chorus and solo instruments. Carols and Lullabies includes selections that will appeal to every musical taste: classical (Brahms), contemporary (Stephen Chatman), sacred (three very different settings of O Magnum Mysterium), and for those seeking traditional fare with a new sound, there is Conrad Susa’s captivating Carols and Lullabies: Christmas in the Southwest. A small, eclectic orchestra featuring harp, guitar, horns, oboe, vibraphone, and marimba promises to bring shimmering depth and color to the choral mix and add a festive sparkle to an already magical evening.
The performance will take place on Saturday, December 10, 2011, in the newly-refurbished and acoustically superb auditorium of the Dobbs Ferry Middle/High School, 505 Broadway/Route 9, Dobbs Ferry, NY, at 8pm. Michael Conley, Music Director, will be conducting. Mr. Conley is a celebrated composer, pianist, organist, and singer as well as conductor.
Tickets are $25, $10 for students, and can be purchased at the door - or in advance by calling (914) 462-3212 - or through the website: www.hudsonchorale.org. Dobbs Ferry Middle/High School has ample parking and is handicap accessible.
