Sorry for the last-minute notification on this – the headlong pace of my life often leaves me running behind. But, especially if you’re a choral aficionado, here’s a concert you just can’t miss.
The College of Charleston Concert Choir just finished their fall concert tour – and based on their performances, Dr. Robert Taylor, their director, believes that this year’s choir is the best the college has ever had at this stage of the school year. And that’s saying something, ‘cause two years ago, this very group was singled out as one of the nation’s finest at that year’s ACDA convention in Lost Angeles.
And you can hear them for yourself at 8:00 p.m. TONIGHT (Thursday, Oct. 18), at the beautifully renovated Cathedral Church of St. Luke & St. Paul on Coming Street (admission $5; students free). Treat yourself to a lovely evening of choral gems, to include selections from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana (which they recently performed with the Charleston Symphony), music by Riverdance arranger Michael McGlynn, beloved classics from Palestrina and Herbert Howells, and engaging items from contemporary choral sensations Eric Whitacre and Brian Galante.
The choral arts are alive and well in Charleston. Come find out why. I’ll see you there.
