Location: Jesse Lee Church (207 Main Street, Ridgefield). In All Things Love will celebrate song and love as a force through which we can effect change, within ourselves and universally. Classical in nature, the programming reflects the early years of the Chorale as a classical, traditional singing group.
The music ranges from the beautiful chant Ubi Caritas (“Where there is charity and love, God is there. From a sincere heart, let us love one another.”) to the joyful Take This Gift (‘Take this gift, it’s not mine to keep. Share it far so all may know. Let our love for singing grow.”). We will explore song as starting points to true human connection and harmony, both actual and metaphorical.
Other songs include: In All Things Love, Song for Justice, Let Them Hear You, Let There Be Peace on Earth and a reprise of Elaine Hagenberg’s Illuminare, which we performed at our fall 2023 concert.
Accompanied by The Ridgefield Chorale’s 15-piece orchestra. The concert is SOLD OUT!
