3 Rivers Chorale to perform Jan. 16 in CJ
From our weekly issue dated January 13, 2010
The 3 Rivers Chorale
“People singing together, along with art and poetry, is one of the oldest expressions of the inner human experience,“ says Kate Campbell, interim director of the 3 Rivers Chorale.
She added, “How fortunate we are that in a world of ever faster communications, electronic gadgetry, and an uncertain political and climatic future, people still gather to simply sing. Choirs just like this one, all around the world, join voices to sing the gamut of expression, from grief and loss to joy and comfort and everything in between.“
Bright Morning Star is the title of a concert series that will be performed by the Chorale on Saturday, Jan. 16 at 3 p.m. at Immanuel United Methodist Church, 200 Watkins St., in Cave Junction.
Donations will be accepted. The concert will be repeated on Sunday, Jan. 17 at 3 p.m. at Newman United Methodist Church, 132 N.E. B St. in Grants Pass. There is a charge for admission.
The Chorale will perform Alleluia, by John Tavener, the choir“s farewell tribute to Dave Marston, its founding director. Waiting for the Lark, a Celtic lullaby, will be accompanied by Tim Wallace on flute. There also will be an original piece written by local composer I“lana Cotton who will accompany the choir.
Works by Mozart, Maurice Durufle, Kristina Vasiliauskaite, Johann Jeep, and Bill Douglas, as well as traditional folk music from North America, the British Isles and Nigeria, also will be included on the program.
The 3 Rivers Ensemble, a solo by Jeni Foster, and a duet with Jeni Foster and Diane Graham will be part of the concert, besides the pieces performed by the 38-member Chorale.
Said Campbell, “Bright Morning Star represents the everlasting spark that lives within all of us, to carry on through darkness until the light returns.“
