Special to Independent Newsmedia
The Phoenix Chorale is ready to kick off its 2024-25 season, which will include collaborations with the orchestra and Grammy-nominated choral group.
The season kicks off at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13 at Camelback Bible Church, at 3900 E. Stanford Drive, in Paradise Valley, with Duruflé Requiem/Martin Mass for Double Choir.
The Phoenix Chorale will be joined by True Concord, the Grammy-nominated professional choir from Tucson. The performance will also highlight the new Fisk organ at Camelback Bible Church, a Silbermann-style pipe organ that is being installed this fall at the church, which will be played by Dr Jeremy Filsell, organist and director of music at St Thomas Church in Manhattan.
“A Chorale Christmas” will light up the holidays Dec.14-17 with performances at Camelback Bible Church, Brophy Chapel, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral and a special appearance at the First United Methodist Church in Mesa. These concerts will bring a mix of Christmas and holiday music from across the centuries.
The first ever collaboration of Phoenix Chorale and MusicaNova Orchestra will present “Tales of Love and Majesty” March 8 at 7:30 p.m. and March 9 at 3 p.m. at Camelback Bible Church.
The concert brings a regal and romantic evening with the grandeur of Handel’s Coronation Anthems and Ode for Queen Anne, paired with a rediscovered Edwardian gem, a love story set in Imperial Japan by British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Both Christopher Gabbitas, Phoenix Chorale artistic director, and Warren Cohen, MusicaNova Orchestra founder and music director, will conduct.
The Phoenix Chorale season will conclude in May with a celebration of American excellence in “American Voices: Pulitzer-Prize Winning Composters” at 3 p.m. May 3 at Camelback Bible Church, and 3 p.m. May 4 at All Saints’ Episcopal Church. Highlighting the music from the past 80 years, “American Voices” features works from composers George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, and Duke Ellington, among others.
Season tickets are on sale now at phoenixchorale.org. Single tickets for all concerts will go on sale Tuesday, Sept. 3.
The Grammy Award-winning Phoenix Chorale features 24-voice ensemble members who reside in Arizona. Founded in 1958 as the Bach & Madrigal Society of Phoenix and subsequently known as the Phoenix Bach Choir, the Chorale became a fully professional choir in 1992.
