Chesapeake Chorale - Concerts - Chesapeake Chorale

Our Current Season - 2023-2024

The Chesapeake Chorale presents
“Shout the Glad Tidings”

Our holiday concert features Vivaldi’s Gloria, a baroque masterpiece
from 1715 that has enlivened the Christmas season for centuries. The Chesapeake Chorale performs this 10-section setting of the mass ordinary in the first half of its holiday concert. The second half
includes "Sing Christmas" by Philip Lasser, Morten Lauridsen's mystical "O Magnum Mysterium," and Castelnuovo-Tedesco's
thrilling "Lo, the Messiah," a setting of the words one of the most
influential personalities of the 15th century, Lucrezia Tornabuoni de'
Medici. The concert will also include sing-alongs of favorite carols..
Start your holiday off on a high note and bring the entire family!

The Chesapeake Chorale presents
“Sing Out!”

Come in from the cold and join the Chorale for a Cabaret-style
program. Taking our cue from Cat Stevens' song "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out' that is exactly what we will do in popular songs arranged for chorus and also featuring Chorale members in smaller ensembles.

The full Chorale will perform music from Jonathan Larson’s megahit
musical Rent, Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park With George,
and a choral arrangement of tunes by the iconic American rock band, The Beach Boys. Shake off winter and “Catch a Wave” with us for some “Fun, Fun, Fun!”

The Chesapeake Chorale presents
“The Song Within”

For this season’s finale the Chorale will perform W.A. Mozart’s
Solemn Vespers, with chamber orchestra. This classical gem from
1779 contains memorable choruses and solos, in particular the sublime “Laudate Dominum” for soprano and chorus. The second half of the concert maintains the mindful and introspective musical journey with music by Mack Wilberg ("My Song in the Night"), Elaine Hagenberg ("The Music of Stillness"), John Horman ("We Are the Music Makers") and additional splendors of the choral art performed by the region's outstanding chorus, the Chesapeake Chorale!
