A Celebration of Glorias: Vivaldi’s Signature and More

Vivaldi’s Gloria is one of the world’s beloved musical treasures. Most often sung with mixed chorus, Concord Women’s Chorus offers a special view of Vivaldi’s world, as composer for the Ospedale della Pietà – a convent, orphanage, and music school for foundling girls in early 18th century Venice. Accompanied by strings, organ, oboe, and soloists, hear the shimmer, radiance, and vitality that women’s voices bring to Vivaldi’s signature work. The program includes a stunning and rhythmic Festival Gloria from composer Craig Courtney and Ola Gjeilo’s luminous works for women’s voices, piano, and string quartet.

After the Rain: Music for the Journey

CWC’s Spring concert features some of the very best new music written for women’s voices. The program tracks the twists and turns of our life stories: the joys, the disappointments, the stumbles, and the redemption along the journey. From Gwyneth Walker’s Maid of Constant Sorrow (“All through this world, I’m bound to ramble.”) to the hope of Elaine Hagenberg’s O Love That Will Not Let Me Go; from the dream of taking flight in Jocelyn Hagen’s The Sky Falls to the triumph of Anthony Trecek-King’s I’m on My Way, this program serves to uplift and to delight, to overcome and to ultimately sing with joy!
