The 2024 Schedule follows:
Cappella Cantorum presents its Spring Concert featuring The Peacemakers by Karl Jenkins, starting at 3pm on Sunday, April 21, 2024 at First Church of Christ in Saybrook. The Cappella Cantorum Masterworks Chorus will be joined by soprano soloist Lisa Williamson, the Cappella Orchestra, and the Select Singers of Lyme-Old Lyme High School.
The Peacemakers sets words of peace from iconic, world-changing figures such as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, along with other inspirational quotations of Mother Teresa, Albert Schweitzer, Anne Frank and the Dalai Lama. Also included are religious texts from the Bible, the Qur’an, St Francis of Assisi and Bahá’u’lláh, and the poetry of Shelley, Malory, Terry Waite and Carol Barratt. One line from the Persian mystic poet Rumi sums up the ethos of the work: ‘All religions, all singing one song: Peace be with you’.
The performance will be conducted by Simon Holt, Music Director of Cappella Cantorum and the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme, as well as Founder and Artistic Director of Salt Marsh Opera. The Select Singers are directed by Kristine Pekar, Choral Director of Lyme-Old Lyme High School.
Registration and first rehearsal for the Spring 2024 semester of the Cappella Cantorum Masterworks Chorus will take place on Monday, January 8th starting at 7pm, at Deep River Congregational Church (1 Church Street, Deep River, CT). Please use the main Sanctuary entrance. Rehearsals will generally be held on Monday evenings from 7:00 – 9:00pm in the same location.
This semester’s music will be The Peacemakers by Karl Jenkins. The Spring Concert will be on Sunday, April 21, 2024. We will be joined for the concert by a youth choir from Lyme-Old Lyme High School, under the direction of Kristine Pekar.
Registration is $60 for the semester. Music is an additional $18 if you don’t already have a score.
Singers may pre-register on this website, or complete the full registration process in person on Registration Night. Late registrations (after Jan 8) are not a problem; you can still pre-register online and finish the process in person at the next available rehearsal. For more information, call 860-532-0454.
Immerse yourself in the sounds of the season with this beloved holiday tradition! Sit in the back and listen, or sit up front and sing along for an extraordinary holiday experience.
Singers should arrive early and be seated in voice sections by 1:30pm for a short warmup/rehearsal. Bring your own Messiah score if you have one, or scores will be available on loan ($10 deposit, refunded when you return the score).
The performance, which will begin at 2pm, will include Messiah Part 1 (the “Christmas section”) and the Hallelujah chorus.
Tickets are required for entry, whether you plan to sing or listen. This event often sells out, so order your tickets in advance at thekate.org or by calling the Kate’s box office at 860-510-0453. We hope you’ll join us!
All singers ages 13 and up are welcome to participate in this unique learning experience, which will offer group choral exercises in a fun, relaxing environment to improve sight reading, ear training and vocal blending.
The workshop will be led by Simon Holt, Music Director of Cappella Cantorum, who is also the Founder and Artistic Director of Salt Marsh Opera and Music Director of the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme.
