Presenting our 2009-2010 Season “Excitement for a Song”!
September 10, 2009
The Festival Choir warmly welcomes you to our 2009-2010 season, with the overarching theme, Excitement …for a Song! We have rolled back ticket prices and ratcheted up the happy and fun in choral music! In fact, our first concert, Shakin' the Blues Away, boasts a repertoire of unabashedly happy music!
We are delighted to welcome Dr. Bruce Gladstone, Artistic Director of the Festival Choir, to his inaugural season. Bruce also serves as the Assistant Conductor of Choral Activities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and he brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm for all things choral to The Festival Choir.
Further welcome goes to Scott Gendel, who is our new Composer-in-Residence. Scott received his DMA in composition from UW-Madison, with a minor in opera accompanying and vocal coaching. We look forward to introducing Scott's wonderful music to you!
