World of Doubt, World of Faith appropriately closes our season with music both questioning existence and demonstrating the resilience of the human race. Central to this program is Adam Roberts’ (Kent State University) multi-movement work for 16-part choir, viola and percussion called Book of Doubt/Book of Faith, setting secular, feminist “psalms” by poet Claire Schwartz that are relevant to our time and connected to Jewish history. The concerts will also feature a diverse repertoire of music that amplifies the voices of all, including composers historically excluded from the classical music world.

Cleveland Chamber Choir strives to collaborate with other local artists to help feature and celebrate the amazing artistic talent of the Northeast Ohio region.  In Season 3, CCC performed John Corigliano's beautiful setting of Dylan Thomas' poem Fern Hill with Bluewater Chamber Orchestra.  We have partnered with local photographer Elisa Vietri to set the recording of the performance with images she has taken of our local landscapes.

​Please enjoy this beautiful piece, conducted by CCC Artistic Director Scott MacPherson, and featuring mezzo soprano soloist Kira McGirr, recorded live at First Baptist Church of Greater Cleveland in May 2018.
