The Choristers is now accepting appointments for auditions - Fall 2015 - Kile Smith's VESPERS accompanied by Piffaro.

The Choristers is now accepting appointments for auditions to participate in the choir’s fall 2015 concert.

On Saturday, November 21, 2015 at 7:30 pm, The Choristers will be the first non-professional concert choir to present Kile Smith’s exquisite Vespers (2008). The choir will be accompanied by the internationally renowned Renaissance wind band, Piffaro, which commissioned the work. The concert will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lansdale, PA.

Mr. Smith wrote about his Vespers, “I have loved the Lutheran liturgy from childhood. So I was thrilled when, during discussions with Piffaro, it was suggested the composition be inspired by the musical flowering of the Lutheran Reformation. That idea became Vespers.” While rooted in the 21st century, one can hear Gregorian chant was in Mr. Smith’s ear when he was composing the work.

Rehearsals for The Choristers are held on Friday nights from 7:30 to 10:00 pm at Supplee Presbyterian Church, 855 East Welsh Road, Maple Glen, PA 19002. For more information, go to www.TheChoristers.org.
