Schola Cantorum presents its third in a series of six “Summer Sings” on Monday, July 27 at 7:30 PM for choral members and former choral members throughout the Bay Area. Bryan Baker, Artistic Director and Conductor of Masterworks Chorale, will conduct the Verdi Requiem.
“Verdi took a sacred piece and infused it with all of the drama and sacred intensity you get in opera. The sound is huge, with thundering climaxes, and wonderfully rewarding choral parts mixed throughout.”
Baker is also director of music at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley; founder and director of the chamber choir Serenade; and assistant conductor of the San Francisco Choral Society.
“Summer Sings” will be held at the Los Altos United Methodist Church on Monday nights through August 17, under the baton of various prominent Bay Area conductors. Admission price is $13 general; ages 25 and under free with valid student ID. As a special savings, Schola offers a Sings FLEX pass: six tickets for $66, to be used as one ticket to attend all six concerts, or to be shared with friends over one or more concerts. Tickets may be purchased at the door, online at www.ScholaCantorum.org, or by phone: 650-254-1700.
