011The Canisius College Chorale invites students, faculty and staff to join its ranks for its upcoming spring semester of concerts.

The choir’s first rehearsal will take place today, Monday, January 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center. Rehearsals will continue each Monday evening at the same time. Auditions are NOT necessary for membership and everyone is welcome. The course numbers for chorale are FAM 181 (CRN: 40136) for one credit and FAM 171 (CRN: 40133) for 0 credit.

The chorale just ended a very successful fall season which included performances throughout Western New York. Its acclaimed “Sacred Spaces” series brought eager listeners to a number of the region’s most beautiful and historic churches. The choir’s annual Winter Concert drew a capacity audience to the college’s Montante Cultural Center and its November performance with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra marked the chorale’s 10th collaboration with the BPO.

The coming season’s activities include performances in some of the region’s finest concert venues, including collaborations with the Camerata di Sant’ Antonio Chamber Orchestra and the Vocalis Chamber Choir.

Consider membership in the Canisius College Chorale! For more information, call Ext. 2536 or e-mail the chorale at scintaf@canisius.edu
