100-voice chorale on display

As a special presentation of modern composer Ola Gjeilo’s beautiful "Sunrise Mass," ProMusica Arizona’s chorale will be joined by choirs from La Casa de Cristo Lutheran Church, American Lutheran Church and All Saints Lutheran Church forming a stunning 100- voice chorale accompanied by a string orchestra. A multimedia background of beautiful scenes from nature completes a truly exceptional experience.

The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 13 at American Luthern Church, 17200 N. Del Webb Blvd., and is part of the ProMusica’s season finale. Tickets range from $12-20.

The orchestra takes the spotlight in the second half of the concert with Mendelssohn’s "Violin Concerto in E," which is consistently on the lists of most frequently performed classical pieces of all time. Accomplished violin soloist Alexandra Birch, who holds a Doctor of Musical Arts from ASU, takes the lead with this concerto.

All of the music and performers in this concert have been selected as a worthy finale to ProMusica Arizona’s 15th anniversary celebration.
