"Shared Voices" is a collaborative concert bringing together the North Country Chorus, Halcyon Chorale, and St. Johnsbury Academy Hilltones to present music by 20th century composers. The concert will be performed at the United Community Church in St. Johnsbury on Saturday, May 2, at 7 pm and again on Sunday, May 3, at 3 pm.
Director Alan Rowe notes that “the North Country Chorus has been a vanguard for choral music for nearly 80 years. This season, I wanted to join forces with these two area choral groups who share in this mission to elevate the choral art form. As a result, we have an eclectic program of works from creators who have established themselves as either rising stars or prolific composers of new staples of the repertoire.”
The program journeys through a broad range of musical landscapes as each ensemble shares a set of their own repertoire. The finale of “Shared Voices” will bring all three ensembles together as an 80-voice choir.
