Please mark your calendars for our 2010/2011 season:
The Choristers will welcome and join the Decorah (Iowa) Chorale on Saturday, November 6, 2010 for a one-time performance at St. John’s Lutheran Church (20275 Davidson Road, Brookfield)
“Christmas Scenes” — Friday, December 10 and Saturday, December 11, 2010 at St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church (800 N. Glenview Ave., Wauwatosa)
The traditional American celebration of Christmas is really a composite of different “scenes” from a number of traditions, some of which draw upon practices that actually pre-date the Birth of Christ. While some of our Christmas traditions have been layered into place over many centuries, others are the result of the rich contributions that diverse cultural groups have made to our larger national heritage. This December, join the Milwaukee Choristers as their varied and engaging seasonal music offerings take inspiration from the different tableaus, sacred and secular, that together create that wonderful and joyous landscape that we call CHRISTMAS!
“Post Meridian” – Friday, April 15 and Saturday, April 16, 2011 at St. Sebastian Catholic Church (5400 W. Washington Blvd., Milwaukee)
What do the fervent midnight worship of monks in a remote monastery, the gleeful proclamation of Eliza Doolittle that she “could have danced all night,” the hymn, “Softly Now the Light of Day,” and the song of love and longing sung by a be-smitten suitor to the object of his affections in the lengthening shadows of evening all have in common? They are examples of music that was intended to be sung after midday. Next spring the Milwaukee Choristers present POST MERIDIAN, a thoughtfully divergent concert of sacred and secular music that focuses in some way on the afternoon or evening.
