Led by Artistic Director & Conductor John Rowehl, with pianist Lotus Dancer, the 80-voice chorus shared sacred and secular music of the season, featuring a mix of the familiar and the new, with a special focus on calling peace into our world.
Guest musicians included soprano Molly Schad, percussionist Peter Della Croce, and a string quartet, with Patrice Weed Shearer and AeKyong Yoo on violin, Teresa Skinner on viola, and Michael Hitchcock on cello. The string quartet accompanied Dan Forrest’s sumptuous arrangements of “Angels We Have Heard on High” and “Silent Night,” Ola Gjeilo’s epic “Tundra,” and the iconic “Let There Be Peace on Earth” that closes the concert, as well as other works. Molly Schad was featured in a short set from Handel’s Messiah, singing the original (but rarely heard) version of “Rejoice, Greatly” in 12/8.
