The Cleveland Chamber Choir Presents March Concerts
by Kira McGirr 13 Feb '24

13 Feb '24

Get ready to be swept away by the stunning singing of the *Cleveland Chamber Choir*, Cleveland’s premier professional choral ensemble, as we conclude our season with *Choral Splendor: Old & New.* Reserve your tickets for our *March 2nd and 3rd *performances at clevelandchamberchoir.org. A Fusion of Past and Present This concert is a unique exploration of how modern masters like *Caroline Shaw, Jeff Scott, and Andrew Rindfleisch* pay homage to, and borrow from, musical geniuses of the past. Prepare to be moved by their contemporary takes on classic compositions from legends like *Thomas Tallis, Dietrich Buxtehude, Gregorio Allegri, and Igor Stravinsky*. TWO World Premieres! In our ongoing commitment to expanding the canon, we're excited to present two world premiere commissions: - *“Nǐ de Mìngyùn, Ayanmo Mi” (Your Destiny, My Destiny)* by world famous composer and horn player, Jeff Scott. This mesmerizing piece is inspired by the I Ching and Ifa divination practice, and is written in dialogue with Stravinsky’s *Yule divinations: Four Russian Peasant Songs*, for four french horns and choir. - *Joshua Estok*, a rising star who is a student at Cleveland State University, reimagines the opening lines of Tallis’s *“If Ye Love Me”* to create a meditation on how we love, expressed in speech and song. Music with a Message Our program closes with *To the Hands*, by Pulitzer Prize winning composer *Caroline Shaw*. The work takes as its starting point the cantata *“Ad manus”* (“To the hands”) from *Dietrich Buxtehude*’s *Membra Jesu nostri* (The Limbs of our Jesus). As Shaw writes: ------------------------------ *To the Hands* begins inside the 17th century sound of Buxtehude. It expands and colors and breaks this language, as the piece’s core considerations, of the suffering of those around the world seeking refuge, and of our role and responsibility in these global and local crises, gradually come into focus. ------------------------------ Support a Noble Cause Join us in making a difference. This year, a record number of people around the world have been displaced from their homes. A portion of proceeds from our *pay what you will* tickets <https://clevelandchamberchoir.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ad53d4c752…> will go to aid Re:Source Cleveland <https://clevelandchamberchoir.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ad53d4c752…>. Across eight programs they support our newest neighbors as they settle into life in Cleveland after their initial transition. They work with children and adults who come to Cleveland as refugees, humanitarian parolees, asylum seekers, and those with temporary protected status. Their work focuses on supporting newcomers in building thriving lives through education, mentoring, tutoring, mental health and wellness, urban agriculture, employment, content creation, youth sports and recreation, and social services and benefits enrollment. Or visit resourcecleveland.org/give <https://clevelandchamberchoir.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ad53d4c752…> to support this important work directly.
