Join the Cleveland Chamber Choir for a virtual survey of madrigals and like works from the sixteenth century to today, on themes of love, loss and duty.
Returning to making music together after the hiatus imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the glorious voices of Cleveland Chamber Choir present Madrigals of All Times. Drawing from a diverse collection of European and American composers from the sixteenth century to today, we contrast settings of the same poetry, composed centuries apart. Central to this concert are world premieres of two sets of madrigals: Three Madrigals by renowned Northeast Ohio composer Dolores White; and Two Madrigals by Adolphus Hailstork, which had been presumed lost. Also featured on this program is music by Aleotti, Weelkes, Gibbons, Josquin, Bennet, Stainer, Lauridsen, Brahms, and Rindfleisch. From the sixteenth century to today, let the words and sounds of emotion ranging from playful joy, parting grief, passion, and honor wash over you.
The pre-recorded concert, filmed at a unique venue in Tremont, will be released on our Facebook page, YouTube channel, and website on Saturday, May 15 at 7:30pm. If you are unable to watch at that time, the program will be archived and available on-demand following the premiere for 30 days.
There is no cost to view the virtual concert, but contributions are gratefully accepted. A portion of donations made between May 15 and June 1, 2021 will go to support the mission of the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, a diverse community of people committed to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
