Schola Cantorum

Add Review/Comment

No minimum (or maximum) height required to experience this whimsical choral journey. Music director Gregory Wait hands off the baton to assistant conductor Dawn Reyen for a season-closing concert with music lovers young and old – and everyone in between – in mind. Awaken the awe and wonder of childhood as you recall favorite tunes you grew up hearing, humming and loving, as well as those catchy newer melodies destined to be classics. From Disney film music and Stephen Schwartz’ When You Believe to selections from Schoolhouse Rock and the choral setting of Lewis Carroll’s nonsensical Jabberwocky, this concert promises to put a song (or two, or three!) in your heart and a Cheshire Cat grin on your face.

    Schola Cantorum and its Music Director Gregory Wait are particularly at home singing in German, and especially when they are singing Brahms. This was particularly evident in Sunday's Beloved Brahms concert, which began on a lighter note with the Liebeslieder Waltzes and, following intermission, Ein Deutsches Requiem. Unlike many performances that feature a full orchestra, this one was accompanied by Schola's Assistant Conductor, Dawn Horst Reyen and Paul Zawilski on piano. This allowed the audience to experience the full range of Schola's considerable dynamic and artistic range. It also permitted the choir to sing more expressively than when singing over heavier instrumentation. This concert was an excellent demonstration of Schola doing what it does best. A very enjoyable autumn afternoon. Collapse
