The Canisius College Chorale, under the direction of Frank Scinta, will continue its 2012-2013 Sacred Spaces Concert Series with a performance on Sunday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. in Nativity of Our Lord Church, 26 Thorn Avenue in Orchard Park.
Joining the Chorale will be the Canisius Brass and “Canisius Crescendont’s.”
The program is free and open to the public. It will feature works of Vivaldi, Hogan, Hairston, Praetorius, Dawson and others.
Sacred Spaces stems from an idea the choir proposed seven 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 houses of worship with its repertoire of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries.
Now in its fifteenth 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.
Please join us for a lovely evening of great choral music for all ages.
