The Festival Choir, under the direction of CONCORA’s Artistic
Director Richard Coffey, will rehearse and perform the following
works, accompanied by a professional chamber orchestra:
J.S. Bach's "Nun Danket Alle Gott" (opening chorus
from Cantata 79)
Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms
Gabriel Fauré's Requiem.
The festival will be held in one of our favorite acoustics
and most comfortable settings: the beautiful, air-conditioned,
centrally-located Bethany Covenant Church in Berlin. The festival
will include a catered dinner on Sunday, July 22, after the
opening rehearsal; an ice cream social after Wednesday's rehearsal;
a continental breakfast on Saturday morning, July 28; great
cameraderie; and, of course, the singing of this wonderful
music, culminating in a public concert on Saturday, July 28
at 4:00 PM.
The festival begins with a rehearsal on Sunday afternoon,
July 22, with additional evening rehearsals on Monday, Wednesday,
Friday. Dress rehearsal with the orchestra is Saturday morning,
with the final concert on Saturday afternoon, July 28.
