Albany Pro Musica Announces 1st Concert Of 27th Season - October 15, 2007
Albany, NY – Albany Pro Musica, led by Artistic Director and Conductor David Griggs-Janower, today announced the first concert of its 27th season, Autumn Landscapes, to be performed Saturday, Oct. 20 and Sunday, Oct. 21.
Featuring a cappella selections from around the world, an Albany Pro Musica specialty, the concert will feature music from the 16th to the 21st century, from Renaissance sacred music to works of today’s most important choral composers. Audience members will be treated to the evocative musical delicacies of Estonian composer Veljo Tormis’ Autumn Landscapes, two of Morten Lauridsen’s madrigal “Fire Songs” on Italian Renaissance poems, Nils Lindberg’s lush setting of the poplar Shakespeare sonnet “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”, and Margery Make the Tea, by APM’s own Steve Murray as well as many other delightful pieces.
APM will be joined by the 120-voice Capital District Youth Chorale, directed by Diane Warner, in this direct-to-the heart celebration of unaccompanied song. CDYC will perform a set by itself, then join APM for the concert finale, in the moving Anthem of Peace, arranged by Mack Wilberg. (The audience will sing along in the final chorus – sheet music will be distributed!) Those who have not had the opportunity to hear the CDYC will be truly amazed at the talent of this young group.
Autumn Landscapes will be performed on Saturday, Oct. 20 at 8:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Albany and on Sunday, Oct. 21 at 3:00 p.m. at the new GE Theatre at Proctors in Schenectady. For complete concert and subscription/single ticket information, visit www.albanypromusica.org or phone 518-438-6548 for a season brochure.
