HomeMy WebLinkAboutVolume 32 - 2016Sweet lovers love the Spring! We have a special
program of songs to celebrate Spring (and love!)
planned for Sunday, May 1, at 3:00 p.m. in the
Friends Meeting Room at the Library. Our Spring
Evergreen Concert will feature singers from
Bella Voce, one of Chicago’s premier professional
chamber choirs. The performers for this concert
include Kaitlin Foley, soprano; Kirsten Hedegaard,
soprano; Orna Arania, alto; Matthew Dean,
tenor; and Eric Miranda, bass. The program will
include pieces by a variety of composers, including
Thomas Morley, Orlando Gibbons, Irving Berlin,
and George Gershwin.
Founded in 1982 as His Majestie’s Clerkes and
renamed in 2001 to reflect the expanded repertory
the ensemble embraced under longtime artistic
director Anne Heider, Bella Voce performs classic
a cappella repertoire, early music of the Americas,
and contemporary music from all over the world.
Andrew Lewis has been the artistic director for the
past 11 seasons.
Bella Voce is an ensemble in residence at the
University of Illinois at Chicago. They have
performed live on WFMT and have also released
several CDs. For more information about
Bella Voce, and to listen to tracks from their
recent recordings, please visit their website,
www.bellavoce.org.
The Concert is free to the public, and no
reservations are required. Following the
performance, one lucky attendee will receive a
free CD, and refreshments will be served for all
to enjoy. For more information, please call the
Library at 630-368-7702.
