Inviting You

Here is the advertisement for a concert I am singing in tomorrow under the direction of notable local countertenor, Thomas Dinan. These soundclips are of two pieces we're performing: "Sicut Cervus" and "Hodie Christus Natus Est"(under "view or listen to samples")

EMANUEL

Music and Poetry to Celebrate God with Us

December 8th at 7:30 p.m. at the Church of St. Anselm

This evening will include music ranging from the 15th century to today. Victoria ’s rarely heard eight-part Ave Maria, as well as works by Gabrieli, Byrd, Sweelinck, Palestrina, and the world premiere of This Trackless Solitude by the Indian-born composer Rashid Khan will be performed by the St. Louis Abbey Schola.

Poems by William Butler Yeats, Rabbi Abraham Abulafia, Jessica Powers, Robert Southwell, Jalal al-Din Rumi, T. S. Eliot and others will be featured in this Advent meditation.



I also sing with The Bach Society of St. Louis and invite you to attend our annual Candlelight Christmas Concert
at Powell Symphony Hall, Monday December 17 and Wednesday December 19, at 7:30 pm. For any of you in the mood for beautiful choral and symphonic music to celebrate the magical season we're in, this is a dazzling cocert and a truly beautiful venue if you've never been. You can get tickets from the Bach Society website (linked above). If anyone knows how to put links to soundclips from your own cd library, let me know and I'll post some from the two CDs we've made as a choir.
