OUR 45th SEASON

Listen

We are excited to present the theme of our 45th season, Music Above and Beyond! It brings together an array of inspirational winter and spring compositions that encourage us to look to the skies and beyond what we perceive and experience possibilities the future might bring.

The repertory of our winter 2025 concerts ranges from the haunting strains of Kim Baryluk’s Solstice Carole, which invites us to dance beneath the stars; to an exuberant horseback jaunt in A Winter Ride by Joan Szymko; followed by a sacred tribute to Chanukah in Eight Days of Light by Judith Clurman and David Chase; and and more, closing with Hodie Christus Natus Est by Kelly-Marie Murphy, where angels exclaim “Glory to God in the highest. Alleluia!” This wondrous musical exploration will take you outside yourselves to a higher, more peaceful plane.

Join Linda Raney, our music director; our 17 singers; saxophonist Dave Anderson; and Bill Epstein, our collaborative pianist, in beginning your 2025 holiday season with joy as we look “above and beyond” with you.

Our spring concerts continue our theme with a repertory that will inspire and challenge your hearts and minds, and includes pieces written in a variety of musical eras.

The highlight of these concerts will be the world premiere of the new commission, The Homecoming, by renowned composer Z. Randall Stroope. Pauline Toevs is the sponsor of this season’s commission, which is dedicated to her beloved husband, Jim Toevs who died in 2025, and features Jan McDonald on trumpet.

Whether winter or spring, this season has an abundance of beautiful music above and beyond to enjoy! Please join us!
