After the huge success of The Georgetown Bach Chorale's
venture into the land of jazz, it was unanimously agreed that this
eclectic bunch of singers should saunter down Broadway one
more time. Favourite jazz standards and Broadway show tunes
will be sung by sultry voices as these fine singers strut their stuff
backed up by piano, drums, bass, and boas. A marvelous multicourse
dinner will be presented to make the evening complete.

Handel's timeless oratorio will be offered four times this autumn
by Georgetown's own Baroque choir complete with orchestra led
from the harpsichord by its artistic director, Ron Greidanus. Even
though this marvelous work is known for its familiar arias and
choruses, there is nothing ordinary about this presentation. The
Bach Chorale takes a truly historical approach to Handel's greatest
masterpiece.

Come and warm yourself on these frosty December nights. As the
darkness and cold set in, all will be warmth and light at 157 Main
Street. For the twelfth year we offer the Chorale's most heartwarming
presentation of the season. What's not to like? Incredible
food, stunning Christmas décor, and delightful seasonal choral
music set the spirit with the highly talented Avery Maclean on the
recorder and accompaniment by the usual museum of historical
instruments from Ron's personal collection. Come hither. Come
one and all!

Piano virtuoso Ron Greidanus offers a piano recital that reflects
the pensive side of the winter season. Medtner's Sonata Reminiscenza,
subtitled "Vergessene Weisen," and Rachmaninoff's
Etudes-Tableaux Op.39 will be the featured portraits offered on
this programme of pianistic silhouettes. Following this recital, guests can enjoy warm soups, fine cheeses and freshly baked
bread. Heal the heart.

Listen to a cappella music heard in the best possible location
– the very type of structure which inspired these choral gems.
Having a visually breathtaking and audibly stunning structure
like the Croatian Centre is something to treasure. It is unusual for
North American choirs to have such an architectural wonder in
their backyard! The Chorale will once again perform marvelous
Mass movements and motets of Brumel, Willan, Diepenbrock,
Kodaly, Liszt, Bruckner, and Allegri. Returning this year is Dutch-
Canadian violinist Edwin Huizinga in a stirring rendition of Bach's
Chaconne in D minor.

About four years ago, Georgetown had the opportunity to hear the
Chorale offer a riveting rendition of Mozart's incredible Mass for the
dead. As lugubrious as that may sound, this work is hardly dark.
It is a masterpiece filled with dramatic choruses, lyrical solos, and
quartets. In addition to this Requiem that would probably waken
the dead, pianist and artistic director Ron Greidanus will perform
Mozart's Piano Concerto #22 in E flat Major. This work and the
Requiem were both used as part of the dramatic soundtrack from
Hollywood's depiction of Mozart's life in the film Amadeus.
