The Choir will present a concert09:17AM / Wednesday, January 14, 2009
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. - On Saturday, Feb. 14, at 1 p.m. the choir will present a concert in collaboration with the Berkshire South Regional Community Center. It will feature selections from the Magic Tree House: The Musical, based on the popular series of children’s books by Mary Pope Osborne.
By special permission from Ms. Pope, the Choir has obtained the rights to perform music from the show which is currently on a national tour. This will be a premiere performance in Berkshire County. Also on the program is the fairy tale Musicians of Bremen arranged for a cappella choir, and the Never-Ending Song, a Young Person’s Guide to the Choir. Joining the group will be a children’s choir from the Montessori School of the Berkshires.
Originally premiered by the Vancouver Chamber Choir in 2001, the Never-Ending Song takes children through a brief history of choral singing through music. This entertaining music explores the different voice ranges and styles of singing much the way Benjamin Britten has done in the Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra.
Now in its fifth season, the Cantilena Chamber Choir is the Berkshire region's leading a cappella group. It is comprised of 24 singers who possess vocal training, good sight-reading skills, and considerable choral experience. Last season it collaborated with the New England Baroque Soloists for two concerts, October and May, and presented a special performance of Ron Perera’s Golden Door as a benefit for the Berkshire Immigrant Center. Past season highlights include concerts with Aston Magna, New England Baroque Soloists, the Empire Brass at the Colonial Theater, a concert of works by Berkshire Composers, and a special benefit for the Lenox Library with Shakespeare and Company’s Annette Miller. The Choir is in residence at Trinity Church in Lenox, and has been heard on a special WMHT Christmas Eve 2008 broadcast of Lessons and Carols recorded at the church.
The Cantilena Chamber Choir is under the artistic direction of Andrea Goodman who is also the Director of the Northern Berkshire Chorale in Williamstown and the Saratoga Choral Festival, an annual summer concert series for chorus and orchestra in Saratoga Springs, New York.
All tickets are $10 and are available at the door or in advance from Berkshire South (located at 15 Crissey Rd. in Great Barrington). You may call them for reservations (highly recommended) at 413-528-2810. For further information, email satbchoir@yahoo.com. Phone: 518-791-0185.
