Austin Singers' 2008-2009 Season - Dr. Dwight Bigler, Artistic Director |
|
Motets, Madrigals, and Make-Believe
October 24 & 26, 2008 Austin Singers presents a program of sacred motets that remember the dead; traditional Dia de los Muertos selections; English and Italian madrigals that celebrate life, love, and loss; and works that enchant the imagination telling tales of dreams and make-believe. Colors of Christmas
December 12 & 13, 2008 Capturing the sparkling colors of the Christmas season, Austin Singers’ holiday concert features many a cappella gems. Included are works featuring harp and oboe, and majestic carols accompanied by brass quintet – all in the enveloping acoustics of St. Mary’s Cathedral downtown. This offering will be a benefit concert for the Micah 6 food pantry.
Harmonie and Thyme
April 18 & 19, 2009 Austin Singers’ 14th season concludes with two classic masterworks. First is John Rutter’s “The Sprig of Thyme,” a magical creation with harp and chamber orchestra accompaniment. The second half of the concert features the Harmoniemesse by Franz Joseph Haydn, an exuberant classical work for choir, orchestra, and soloists. Austin Singers will collaborate with local high school choirs for these major works. |
