We're now a few weeks away from our annual Christmas concert. It will take place on Saturday, December 20, at 7:30 PM, at the Burbank First United Methodist Church, 700 North Glenoaks Boulevard, Burbank, CA!
The title of our concert is "Rejoice," a refrain featured in one of the very festive pieces we'll be singing, Handel's coronation anthem, "Zadok the Priest." In the same spirit, our featured work is Mozart's Coronation Mass. We're also singing two gorgeous, a cappella devotional pieces in a very different style and mood from the Handel and Mozart works: a selection from Rachmaninoff's Vespers, No. 7, "The Six Psalms," and another Russian beauty, the Hymn to the Holy Mother, No. 11, from Tchaikovsky's Liturgy of St. John Chrystosom. The rich harmonies are joy to sing. We'll also do some tuneful Christmas and Hannukah favorites and end with our usual sing-along!
All are welcome to join the festivities. Pre-concert tickets are $15 and can be purchased on our website at www.burbankchorale.org.
