In May we’re looking forward to performing for the good people of the Eastern Shore and beyond. Expect to hear songs/stories from the lands of Russia, Kenya, Italy, Scotland, and elsewhere, as well as locally arranged music by the talented Composer/Accompanist/Pianist, John Plant!
This year’s program spans not only multiple genres of Vocal Music, but also different eras of music, including Gospel, Baroque, Musical Comedy, Italian Opera, Maritime Folk, etc. The four-voice sections of CVMC (Bass; Baritone; 1st & 2nd Tenors) are excited to sing the odd audience favorite from our recent past seasons (including a Swahili number!). Yet much of 2019’s repertoire is newly arranged music with a particularly International flare, with a firm root in the various Western vocal traditions.
Conducted by Ross Thompson (a guest clinician, conductor and adjudicator for numerous choral camps, workshops, festivals and clinics throughout the Maritimes), CVMC is has been preparing diligently for its most ambitious Program to-date. And on top of that, Assistant Conductor Allan Banks will be conducting a special feature as well!
