Under
the direction of Ron Greidanus, and conducted by him from the
harpsichord, the Georgetown Bach Chorale offers a unique
combination of choral, orchestral and solo works in a variety of
settings. The group specializes in Baroque repertoire, performed
with musicians playing period instruments but also explores
music from other eras.
The
2009-2010 season offers five concerts. Two are held in a
private home.
In
anticipation of a trip to Austria in the winter of 2010 to
perform Handel’s Messiah for audiences
there the season includes two exciting and innovative
fundraising events.
The
Chorale embarks on its new season by hosting its first
fundraiser event in October. The evening will combine a gourmet
meal with marvelous music where
guests will be both served and entertained by members of the
choir.
The
season continues with performances of Handel’s Messiah in the
beautiful, byzantine-style St. Elias Ukranian Church in Brampton.
The ever popular Christmas concert combines traditional music
with readings that evoke the spirit of the season followed by a
lavish reception - all in a beautifully decorated home. The
choir returns to the Croatian Church in Norval, utilizing its
impressive acoustics to sing
music composed for performance in the ancient cathedrals of
Europe. Beethoven and Chopin’s compositions are featured in
the March Chamber Music concert and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons
will be the highlight of the April concert.
To
end the season in style, the second fundraiser event will be
held in May. An exciting live auction of concerto movements will
determine the program of the evening. Two fearless and
accomplished pianists, Ron Greidanus and Kathryn Tremills will
perform the winning bids from memory.
We
look forward to having you join us!
The Chorale will
repeat two concerts (Handel’s Messiah and Ecclesiastic
Compositions) as part of the Caledon Concert Series in Caledon
East.
