Repertory Singers – Season 33, 2018-19
Rep Singers’ 2018-19 season promises to be another great one. We will build on our tradition of excellence, presenting professional-level, artistic choral music of all styles and periods. The season kicks off in October with a visit by renowned British composer, Will Todd. Mr. Todd will join Rep Singers as we perform his piece, “Among Angels.”
Our popular holiday show returns in December with carols from around the world and a visit by the North Medford High School Choir.
In March 2019, we will continue the exciting new Rogue Valley tradition by hosting First Light, the second annual James M. Collier Festival of New Choral Music. This festival will include concerts of new works for choir and orchestra as well as lectures and related activities surrounding the commissioned music.
The “Lux Aeterna” concert in May 2019 provides a great balance to the New Works Festival, featuring the choir and a chamber orchestra to perform the works of Morten Lauirdsen, plus Beethoven’s stirring Mass in C.
At all of our concerts you are guaranteed to hear pieces you did not know you loved, and composers you will add to your list of favorites. It’s going to be a grand season, and I invite you to come to one or all of these uplifting concerts. Dr. Paul French – Music Director
All concerts take place in the SOU Music Recital Hall, 450 S. Mountain Avenue, Ashland.
