A Reason to Celebrate Singing!
26th Anniversary Message from Hal
Welcome to our 26th season … A REASON TO CELEBRATE SINGING! We are so glad to be back singing a full season again and we have many reasons to celebrate and sing! Four wonderful concert offerings this season will give you a reason to celebrate too! You don’t know really how to appreciate something unless you almost lose it. For two years during the worldwide pandemic we wondered when we would be able to come back and sing together again. Finally, in February of this past year we were able to come together to rehearse and prepare a concert for May of 2022. The response was overwhelming as you came out to support choral singing in our Lexington Community. We are so appreciate for the last 25 seasons! Thank you for your support! We are happy to now launch our 26th season. As we come back together we have a renewed vision for the LCCS. Each concert will be “A REASON TO CELEBRATE SINGING!” We invite you to become season ticket subscribers. Your subscription will help support the whole season and music in our community. We are grateful that Saxe Gotha Presbyterian Church will once again host all of our concerts this season. Here is an overview of what we have to offer:
A Reason to Celebrate Singing, The Holidays!
Come and celebrate the Christmas season with wonderful holiday songs old and new. Ever since we began we have shared two Christmas concert dates. This year we will have our concerts on the first weekend of December. Come join us!
A Reason to Celebrate Singing, The Three Baritones!
In January of 2023, those guys you love to hear will be back together for the first time in several years! That’s right! “The Three Baritones” will share a concert of favorites, both sacred and secular. You don’t want
to miss these 3 professional singers in concert as they share their joy of singing with you. This is an exciting
fundraiser concert for the LCCS and a special part of your season ticket subscription.
A Reason to Celebrate Singing, Folks Near and Far!
Our third concert offering this season is “Folks Near and Far,” a celebration of folk songs from America
and beyond. You will hear some of your favorite folk melodies from America with special arrangements of
the music of Aaron Copeland. Also featured will be some folk songs from afar like “O Danny Boy.” Rousing
arrangements of songs like “Cindy” and soothing songs like “O Shenandoah” will delight your ears.
A Reason to Celebrate Singing, The Faure Requiem
Our final concert offering of the season will be an opportunity to join our voices with a younger generation
of singers. Gilbert High School Chorus under the direction of Craig Coelho will join us for a beautiful
rendition of “The Requiem” by Gabriel Faure plus other selections. We hope that choral music will always
have a home in our community. Joining with these younger singers gives us an opportunity to encourage
and engage with them and for them to sing a major choral work with a community choir.
As you can see our Lexington County Choral Society’s 26th season is truly “A Reason to Celebrate Singing.”
We hope that you will join us for all the music and fun. Remember that a portion of every contribution that you make to LCCS goes to support the Sylvia E. Looney Piano scholarship and the H.T.Lorick, Jr. Voice
scholarship. We are so glad to share the gift of music in our community. Please join us!
Sincerely,
Hal
