NEW SINGERS WELCOME:
In the spirit of musical exploration for which the Brattleboro Concert Choir is well known, the 2010-11 season of singing begins on Wednesday, September 15 with rehearsals of Carlos Pinto Fonseca's landmark work, the Missa Afro-Brasiliera. A dynamic work for acapella chorus, the Missa Afro-Brasilieria won the "Best Vocal Work" prize of the Associação dos Críticos de São Paulo.
In the words of composer Fonseca, "Brazil means contrast and mixture-- the new, side by side with the old. In this work, I have tried to abolish barriers between sacred, classical, and popular music and portray the impulse and warmth and religious syncretism of Brazilians."
Singers interested in joining the Concert Choir in this exciting choral experience may contact director Susan Dedell at 802-348-7735 or email info@bmcvt.org. For more information on the Concert Choir please visit the Brattleboro Music Center website at www.bmcvt.org.
