The Canisius College Chorale, under the direction of Frank Scinta, will continue its 2014 Sacred Spaces concert series with a program on Monday, November 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Annunciation Church, 7580 Clinton Street in Elma, NY.
The evening will feature works by Hogan, Mendelssohn, Buxtehude, Dawson, Ticheli and others. Admission is free and all are welcome.
Sacred Spaces stems from an idea the choir proposed 10 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 40 houses of worship with its repertoire of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries.
Now in its 17th 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. In recent years, the Chorale has performed with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Ars Nova Chamber Musicians, Amherst Symphony Orchestra, Camerata di Sant’Antonio, Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus and the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
