Thursday Night Concert: Heritage Signature Chorale and Choralis

The Heritage Signature Chorale will present a jubilant concert of art songs, sacred songs, and contemporary arrangements of Negro spirituals. The concert will include music by composers Rollo Dilworth, John Stoddart, Adolphus Hailstork, Undine Smith Moore, and DC composers Nolan Williams, Jr. and Evelyn Simpson-Curenton.

Bob Chilcott has been described as “a contemporary hero of British Choral Music.” The world premiere of his small ensemble version of Requiem (2010) was given by Choralis’ small ensemble Echos, in the fall of 2010 here in Washington, DC. Choralis has since performed the full orchestral version with Chilcott himself conducting and is honored that he elected to be here for this Chorus America Conference performance.
