Glacier Chorale in concert - Reflection

Description

The Glacier Chorale returns to the stage with a Reflection on inspiring choral repertoire
The month of November unveils two very special  MasterWorks concerts in the 39^th season  of the Glacier Symphony and Chorale organization, with the first showcasing the Glacier Chorale under the direction of Dr. Micah Hunter on  November 13^th and November 14^th  in performances entitled Reflection.
The varied program reflects on the evolution of choral writing from the 16^th century with a work by Palestrina, all the way to the 21^st century, including a piece by Glacier Chorale tenor  and composer, Marshall Jones. Jones is currently Director of Music Ministries at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Kalispell and teaches Composition, Applied Piano and Keyboard Skills at Flathead Valley Community College. Along the way, the Chorale will perform a number of late 19^th – 20^th century works by such well-known composers as Edward Elgar, Igor Stravinsky and Charles Ives.  Other 21^st century works include some of the more active choral composers living today, an arrangement of a traditional spiritual by the late Moses Hogan,  and some familiar favorites for Glacier Chorale audiences, like Vinjay Singh’s Let Peace Abound. Weep No More, by David M. Childs after a poem by Keats, is a beautiful feature for just the sopranos and altos of the Chorale.
“We are so pleased to once again this year to be able to take to the stage “live” after our annual November concert was unfortunately canceled last year due to the pandemic,” says Dr. Hunter.  “In crafting this program, I have chosen pieces that do truly ‘reflect’ on the topics of isolation, love and spiritual and religious themes, and also utilize the full dynamic range, choral sound, and harmonic capabilities of the choir. “
The concerts will take place at the Performance Hall of Glacier High School on Saturday, November 13^th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, November 14^th at 3:00 p.m. All patrons and individuals are strongly encouraged to wear facial coverings while in attendance at the venue.
