The Music on the Hill Chamber Chorus will perform "Music in Nature," featuring Aaron Copland's In the Beginning and Paul Hindemith's Six Chansons, with Artistic Director David H. Connell conducting. Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at the door or reserved in advance at tickets@musiconthehillct.org.
The Chamber Chorus is a 16-voice professional ensemble founded in 2012 by Artistic Directors Connell and Ellen Dickinson. The group made a notable debut in May of that year with a performance of Brahms' Liebeslieder Waltzes (Love Song Waltzes) with piano four-hands. The group currently performs fall and spring concerts and has sung a capella works by Walton, Glass, and Klatzow, among others.
The "Music in Nature" concert takes advantage of the striking architecture of the Victor Lundy-designed Unitarian Church, with its glass walls opening onto a woodland setting.
Music on the Hill creates opportunities to engage with music by offering workshops, concerts, and four performing ensembles: Jubilate Ringers, Chamber Chorus, Festival Chorus, and Summer Chorus. To trace its first year-and-a-half of music programming, visit Facebook page.
