PAST CONCERTS THIS SEASON:
TANGO & FIRE: PASSIONATE SOUNDS OF ARGENTINA
Saturday, June 8th, 7:30 P.M. First Baptist Church of Glendale
The sizzling sounds of Argentina came to life with our final concert of the season, Tango and Fire: Passionate Sounds of Argentina. We headed South to the land known for its gauchos, mate, Patagonia, Malbec wine, and of course, the “Paris of the South – Buenos Aires!” The WEST COAST PREMIERE of the beautiful and extraordinary Misa A Buenos Aires (Misa Tango) by Argentine composer Martin Palermi as a hit! Also included was an authentic “tango band,” delighting in the rhythms and sounds of the “tango.” You’ll felt like you’re walking the streets of Palermo, or maybe Recoleta, as the Angeles Chorale discovered and celebrated the classical, folk, and traditional sounds of Argentina!

SONGS OF FRANCE
Saturday, March 30th, 7:30 P.M. at the First United Methodist Church of Pasadena
Sunday, March 31st, 4 P.M.at the Northridge United Methodist Church
In March, we traveled to the city of love and lights…Paris! Home to the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the Louvre, we celebrated the sounds of this iconic city and its nightlife with some of France’s most celebrated composers. Duruflé’s magnificent motets paved the way for our inspiring performance of the Poulenc Gloria, and Morten Lauridsen’s evocative song cycle “Les Chansons des Roses” (Songs of Roses), as the Angeles Chorale brough to life the beauty, subtlety, and romance that French music is famous for.

CHRISTMAS IN ITALY
Saturday, December 8, 7:30 P.M.
First United Methodist Church of Pasadena
Our season began with a journey to the home of opera, fashion, wine, pizza(!), and the Stradivarius violin, as we explored Italy and the home of Puccini, Palestrina, Verdi, and so many others. We walked the streets of Florence, Naples, Rome & Milan as we celebrated the holiday season with the joyous sounds of Vivaldis majestic Gloria. This Baroque masterpiece was a contemporary contrast with John Rutters thrilling Gloria, as the sounds of the season filled the air and your heart. We rang in the holidays with Italian carols, an audience sing-a-long, and some of our audiences most beloved holiday favorites. We found new hope, life, love, and cheer for the holidays!

I love getting to work with the amazing voices of the Angeles Chorale! Their versatility, flexibility, and the spirit with which they sing is inspiring to me as a conductor. They are breathtaking in their encounters with classical masters like Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms…the momentous music of Mahler… and yet, they are masters with the unique harmonies, structures, and rhythms found in the current music of Eric Whitacre, Gwyneth Walker, Paul McCartney, and music that you’re hearing on your television and in movie theaters. The voices of the Angeles Chorale literally do it all, and do it all at the highest professional levels.This is the Angeles Chorale!"
