Returning to making music together after the hiatus imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the glorious voices of Cleveland Chamber Choir present Madrigals of All Times. Drawing from a diverse collection of European and American composers from the sixteenth century to today, we contrast settings of the same poetry, composed centuries apart. Central to this concert are world premieres of two sets of madrigals: Three Madrigals by renowned composer and Northeast Ohio native Dolores White; and Two Madrigals by Adolphus Hailstork, which had been presumed lost. Also featured on this program is music by Aleotti, Weelkes, Gibbons, Josquin, Bennet, Stainer, Lauridsen, Brahms, and Rindfleisch. From the sixteenth century to today, let the words and sounds of emotion ranging from playful joy, parting grief, passion, and honor wash over you.

The Cleveland Chamber Choir is proud to announce our 2020-2021 Sixth Season: A Time for Music.
In place of live, in-person performances, we will be presenting safe, responsible concerts that you can stream from the comfort of your own home. These free concerts will be released across all of our digital platforms and will model safe, socially distanced singing practices. In our desire to create music together, safety will not be sacrificed.
December 2020 will bring the release of our very first album, a collection of live recordings from Seasons Four and Five. Stay tuned for pre-ordering details!
Finally, March 2021 will see us presenting our second video concert entitled "March Madness: Madrigals of All Times." Again, this concert will be streamed on all of our digital platforms.
We cannot sing in person for you this season, but we can still create music for you. And together, we can celebrate a time for music.
Our digitally distributed concerts will be available to all, free of charge. Please consider making a donation to CCC to ensure we can continue to share excellent choral music with our community during a time when it is so sorely needed.

Finding strength in making music together, members of the Cleveland Chamber Choir created this virtual choral performance of "Resilience" by Abbie Betinis from her "Justice Choir Songbook," featuring soloists Jelani Watkins and Jenna Hall Tucker. CCC also performed this piece at our recent concerts entitled We March On! Music of Social Justice. The message of resilience is particularly apropos during the ongoing health crisis. Thank you for your ongoing support! |
