[NEohioPAL] Two Choruses Combine for Concert

Tue Sep 27 13:39:45 PDT 2016

Cleveland Pops Orchestra Chorus and West Shore Chorale combine to present a
Fall Choral Celebration

Cleveland, OH - September 28, 2016 - Two of Northeast Ohio's most respected
choral organizations are blending their 140 voices into an afternoon of
choral music and a combined performance of "A Jubilant Song." The choruses
will be accompanied by pianist Mio Arai.        The concert will take place
at 3.30 p.m. on Sunday, October 16, 2016 in Waetjen Auditorium, located in
the Cleveland State University Music Building at 2001 Euclid Avenue,
Cleveland, Ohio 44115.

Norman Dello Joio's exuberant "A Jubilant Song" was set to the text of "A
Song of Joys" by that equally exuberant poet Walt Whitman. Originally scored
for women's voices and piano, it was composed by Dello Joio in 1945, and its
celebratory mood certainly reflects America's exultation at the end of World
War II. Its first performance was at Sarah Lawrence College, a female-only
undergraduate institution that became co-educational in 1968.

Cleveland Pops Orchestra Chorus, which made its acclaimed debut in Severance
Hall on November 2, 2012 is directed by William G. Zurkey. The West Shore
Chorale, founded in 1968

is directed by John Drotleff. 

Admission to the performance of "A Jubilant Song" is $15, payable at the
door to Waetjen Auditorium. Free admission for students with student ID.
Parking is free. For further information about the concert, please call:
216-765-7677.
