SUBSCRIPTIONS

​

A new season awaits, as the Chamber Chorus performs in six venues totally new to us and perhaps to you. Our season theme, Opposites Attract, explores how apparent contradictions can actually interact and complement one another, as when silence accentuates a musical phrase, or the intensity of hatred is transformed into a deep love. Our diverse repertoire ranges from classic examples of a cappella writing to unfamiliar and new pieces from artists around the globe. As always, women composers and commissioned works feature prominently, demonstrating our mission not only to entertain, but to educate and inspire. Favorites such as Bruckner, Dvorak, and Vaughan Williams accompany profound offerings from Kerensa Briggs, Melissa Dunphy, and Libby Larsen. Hear how some of St. Louis's most distinctive venues respond to the resonant voices of the Chamber Chorus, using programs tailored to their specific acoustic and traditions.

Music is never more arresting than when leavened with stillness, and this program explores how silence can instil drama into the mundane. We present Renaissance motets that describe the silent, part songs by Vaughan Williams and Elaine Hagenberg, and a recent SLCC commission from Wolfram Buchenberg.
