The Canisius College Chorale, under the direction of Frank Scinta, will inaugurate its 2010 Sacred Spaces concert series with a program at SS. Peter and Paul Church, 5480 Main Street in Williamsville, tonight (March 22) at 7:30 p.m. The concert will feature works by Mendelssohn, Hogan, Bernstein, Hovland, Dawson and others. Admission to all events in the Sacred Spaces series is free. Please join us for an evening of great choral music for all ages and tastes.
Sacred Spaces stems from an idea the choir proposed five years ago to feature its music in some of Western New York’s most beautiful and acoustically resonant environments – namely, the sanctuaries of our area’s churches. As a result, the choir has visited nearly twenty-five houses of worship with its repertoire of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries.
Now in its 12th season, the Canisius College Chorale remains one of Western New York’s most active collegiate music ensembles. Composed of 100 undergraduate and graduate members, the chorale regularly presents concert programs to school, church, and community audiences throughout Western New York and Southern Ontario.
