Pittsburgh Sings: The Pittsburgh Concert Chorale's Third Annual Festival of Choirs Warm Up to Choral Singing and Guest Emcee Anna Singer for This Perfect Fall Treat Pittsburgh (September 30, 2014) -- The third annual "Pittsburgh Concert Chorale Festival of Choirs" will be presented at 4 p.m. Sunday, October 26, in Carnegie Music Hall (Oakland). This major outreach event was so successful in 2012 and 2013 that Music Director Dr. Susan Medley has invited the McKeesport Area High School A Cappella Choir and the North Hills High School Symphonic Choir to join the 115-voice Pittsburgh Concert Chorale. WQED Personality and World-Class Vocalist Anna Singer will emcee the event. "We are very proud to host the third annual Festival of Choirs, and we look forward to sharing the stage with choruses from McKeesport and North Hills High schools. It will be a wonderful afternoon of music-making, and the finale will feature nearly 250 singers. What a terrific celebration of the power of choral music!" Medley said. In an effort to provide educational enrichment for choirs in Allegheny County and promote choral singing, this concert builds collaboration and community among diverse groups in the Pittsburgh area. Each choir will present several pieces before all three choirs join on stage for a rousing finale of selections from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. Medley called it "a once-in-a-lifetime experience for these young musicians and one that leaves the audience enthralled with choral music by singers of all ages." Tickets are just $5 for adults and children under 12 are admitted FREE. PCC season ticket holders receive two FREE Festival tickets along with their purchase; details are on the PCC Website. The festival kicks off PCC's 2014-2015 30th Anniversary Season. See www.PCCsing.org to order tickets, call 412.635.7654 or purchase them at the door. 
Thank you to Mr. Richey for serving as photographer at today's Alumni Reunion rehearsal, dinner, and concert. We just received the exciting news that our Rock Orchestra will be featured at the Pennsylvania School Board Association Convention. The students will travel to Hershey, PA, and perform for school board members and administrators from around the state. The performance happens to also be the night of our October Band Concert, where the Symphonic Choir is scheduled to perform movements from Carmina Burana with the Wind Symphony.
To allow the Orchestra to perform at the convention, we will move the band concert from Wednesday, October 22 back a day to Tuesday, October 21. We chose this day because it worked for all our guest artists and many of the students already had marching band practice. The concert will be an exciting one, featuring:
We obviously make our calendar a year in advance and try to avoid any changes. In this unique circumstance, though, we need to support all parts of our music program. Congratulations to the Rock Orchestra, and we look forward to the concert! |
