THE CONCORD CHORUS

Kevin Leong, Music Director           




THE CONCORD CHORUS, a nonprofit organization founded in 1945, occupies an honored place in the musical life of Concord, Massachusetts and surrounding communities.

Celebrating its 67th season, the chorus provides a fine opportunity to hear works of the great choral repertoire performed by 90 singers, amateur and trained, who are committed to artistic excellence. We are pleased to welcome Kevin Leong as our new music director.

Rehearsals are held at the Duvall Chapel at Newbury Court, 80 Deaconess Road, Concord (off Old Road to Nine Acre Corner, next to Emerson Hospital), Monday nights from 7:30 to 10 PM, from September through May. Brief auditions are held in September and January.  The next auditions will be held in early September, 2013 during or after rehearsal. If you love classical choral music, please consider joining us! Tenors and basses are especially welcome.

Ludwig van Beethoven’s majestic and gentle Mass in C is an intimate testament to his personal faith and a work that he claimed was “especially close to my heart.” The concert will also feature Joseph Haydn’s rarely heard Salve Regina in E, a lyrical and spirited work for soprano, chorus, and strings. This concert marks the Chorus’s first collaboration with the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra of Boston, one of only four cooperative orchestras in the country and an ensemble that has played a distinguished role in the history of the arts in Boston.

Teresa Wakim, soprano; Julia Cavallaro, mezzo-soprano; Marcio de Oliveira, tenor; and David McFerrin, baritone will be the soloists for this performance.  In May 2012 Ms. Wakim joined the Concord Chorus as the soprano soloist for Brahms's magnificent Ein deutsches Requiem.
