The Waterbury Chorale brings outstanding choral music to the Greater Waterbury area, while providing an opportunity for amateur and semi-professional singers to enjoy the performance of great musical literature. The Chorale, now in its 45th year, performs a wide range of repertoire, from established masterworks to varied programs of contemporary music and music from other cultures.
The Waterbury Chorale has started rehearsing for its spring concert, which will be held at The First Congregational Church of Waterbury on Sunday, April 22, 2012 at 4:00 PM. The theme of this year’s presentation is “American Tapestry” which will celebrate the genius of American composers. Music by George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, Moses Hogan, Randall Thompson and Leonard Bernstein will head the list of an afternoon program that will be great fun for us to rehearse and even more enjoyment for our audience to hear.
Waterbury resident, the versatile young soprano Marissa Famiglietti is the Principal Guest Soloist for our Spring Concert. A graduate of the Master of Music program at the esteemed Manhattan School of Music in New York City, Ms. Famiglietti’s recent performances of note include the roles of Sour Genovieffe in Suor Angelica with Opera Theater of Connecticut, Lauretta in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi with the American Singers’ Opera Project, and Zerlina in Don Giovanni with the International Symphonic Orchestra in Rome and Verona.
Tickets will be $20, purchased in advance, and $25 at the door. To obtain tickets or for additional information regarding this concert, please call 203-206-8069.
Share The Waterbury Chorale’s 45-year journey, audibly and visually, at an exhibit entitled The Spirit of Music is the Celestial Vibration of the Universe. From its inception, The Chorale has carried the spirit of Waterbury locally, nationally and internationally through its high level performances and personal interactions with peoples and their communities.
Local community involvement has included collaborations with the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra, participation in Waterbury Arts Festivals, the Anne Frank Exhibit, the thousand-voice chorus for The Special Olympics World Games Opening Ceremonies, dedication of the Jewish Community Center of Southbury and the opening of the Palace Theater. High level performance opportunities continued with national and international travel to many states and nine countries, resulting in countless memorable and historically significant adventures.
Music is a gift to be shared with cultures at home and abroad. The experience of this exhibit will carry you through The Waterbury Chorale’s journey.
