Come celebrate the holiday season with us as we present songs from around the globe including “Kling Glockchen, Kling!”, the spirited “Dide Ta Deo!”, and an arrangement of Sweet Honey in the Rock’s “Seven Principles.”
She Shall Have Music Saturday, March 21, 2020 at 3 p.m. Claremont Presbyterian Church 1111 N. Mountain Ave., Claremont In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Claremont Chorale is excited to produce a concert of music written by women composers. Although women make up over half the world’s population, you’ll rarely find their creative voices heard in the concert hall.
We’re honored to bring you selected vocal music by women composers that crosses sacred, secular, and sublime. The center piece of the concert will be “The Golden Harp,” written by Gwyneth Walker for chorus and string quartet.
A Night at the Movies Saturday, May 30, 2020 at 3 p.m. Claremont Presbyterian Church 1111 N. Mountain Ave., Claremont
Behind nearly every great movie scene is an equally memorable musical moment. Pay closer attention and you’ll notice just how many of these are powered by the human voice.
From the crystal purity of the opening of Frozen to the primal sounds of Hans Zimmer’s score for Gladiator, there’s very little the voice can’t express! For the final concert of our 2019-2020 season we’ve assembled a blockbuster program of the highlights.
