The LOLHS Select Singers have been invited to participate in a concert with the community chorus Cappella Cantorum on Sunday, April 21, 2024 at the Old Saybrook Congregational Church. Mr. Holt is the music director of Cappella Cantorum, and he is assisted by Rick Wyman.
Select Singers will perform two songs at the start of the concert (they have selected "Bring Me All Your Dreams" by Christopher Harris, as well as the perennial favorite "Java Jive" arranged by Kirby Shaw). They will then combine with Cappella Cantorum and a full orchestra to perform the major choral work "The Peacemakers" by Karl Jenkins. This 16-movement work extols peace and is dedicated to those who have lost their lives in armed conflict: in particular, innocent civilians. The texts used are derived from the words of our own messengers for peace: Mahatma Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Jr., the Dalai Lama; and iconic and inspiring people including Mother Theresa, Anne Frank, Albert Schweitzer, Rumi, Bahá'ulláh, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Seraph of Sarov. The work also quotes from the Abrahamic religions including the Old and New Testament books of the Bible, the Qu'ran, and Judaism. English poets Shelley and Malory are heard, as well as contemporary poets Carol Barratt and Terry Waite CBE. Tickets are available online at cappellacantorum.org, by calling 860-532-0454, and at the door. Tickets are $30 for Adults and $15 for Students (age 18 or under). Children 6 & under can attend free with a ticketed adult. Personal check, cash, and credit card can be used online or at the door. Comments are closed.
