The San Francisco Lyric Chorus, under the direction of Music Director, Robert Gurney, invites singers to join us for our Summer 2017 trimester.
We have openings in all parts. We know Sopranos, Altos, Tenors and Basses will enjoy singing these expressive and powerful compositions.
Giuseppe Verdi: Four Sacred Pieces: Ave Maria, Stabat Mater, Laudi alla Vergine Maria, Te Deum
Eric Whitacre: Sainte-Chapelle * Glow * Lux Nova
Ola Gjeilo: Northern Lights * The Ground (from the Sunrise Mass)
Eriks Esenvalds: Stars
Rehearsals begin Monday, May 22, 2017
Rehearsals are held on Monday nights from 7:15-9:45 p.m.
Our concerts will be held on Saturday, August 12, 2017 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, August 13, 2017 at 5 p.m. in Mission Dolores Basilica, San Francisco.
Our Summer 2017 program features works that explore the drama and emotions connected with the human experience. We feel the tender, maternal qualities of the Virgin Mary in Verdi’s Laudi alla Vergine Maria and see the vast beauty of a heaven full of stars in Eriks Esenvalds setting of Sara Teasdale’s poem, Stars. Each of our composers enhances the texts with music so that we can feel the emotions of the experiences.
