The Canisius College Chorale, under the direction of Frank Scinta, will conclude its 2011-2012 “Sacred Spaces” Concert Series with two performances this coming weekend:
Saturday, April 28 at 7:30 p.m.
Montante Cultural Center
Monday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m.
Our Lady, Help of Christians Church
4125 Union Road
Cheektowaga, NY
Both programs are free and open to the public. They will feature works of Mendelssohn, Lotti, Vivaldi, Bernstein, Dawson and others.
Sacred Spaces stems from an idea the choir proposed six years ago to feature its music in some of Western New York’s most beautiful and acoustically resonant environments – namely, the sanctuaries of our region’s present and former churches. As a result, the choir has visited nearly thirty-five houses of worship with its repertoire of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries.
Now concluding its fourteenth season, the Canisius College Chorale remains one of Western New York’s most active collegiate music ensembles. Composed of 120 undergraduate and graduate members, the chorale regularly presents concert programs to school, church, and community audiences throughout Western New York and Southern Ontario. In recent years, the Chorale has performed with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Ars Nova Chamber Musicians, Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus and the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
