The Edina Chorale will open its 2019-2020 Concert Season on December 6th at 7:30 p.m. and again on December 14th at 3:00 p.m. with its holiday performance of “Love, Joy, and Peace.” This concert is the first in a 3-part series entitled “The Legacy of Music,” celebrating the choir’s 35th year anniversary.
The Edina Chorale’s new Artistic Director, Paige Armstrong, will be making her directorial debut with a variety of traditional, spiritual, and familiar holiday pieces. Love, Joy, and Peace is a musical journey exploring each theme as an important part of the holiday season. The program features movements from larger masterpieces such as Handel’s “Glory to God” from Messiah and the final movement of Dona Nobis Pacem by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Also included are modern arrangements of traditional holiday tunes such as “Joy to the World,” “Little Drummer Boy,” “Deck the Hall,” and “Silver Bells,” along with several holiday choral favorites. This concert is the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season!
In celebration of its anniversary year the Chorale will be partnering with selected 50th and France restaurants for an “Evening in Edina.” The Chorale, in keeping with its commitment to creating community through music, invites attendees holding a concert ticket to enjoy a night out before or after each concert with a 10% discount at these establishments. This offer is good December 5-15. Please visit the Edina Chorale website for a list of participating restaurants.
Both concerts will be held at Calvary Church on France Avenue in Edina. A brief reception will follow each concert. Tickets are as follows: Adults $20, Seniors $15. Students K – 12 are free.
