If you are an admirer of the vocal arts, there is much to enjoy over the next nine days, with concerts being given by the Capital Singers of Trenton (tonight at 7:30, at St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church in Princeton), Princeton Girlchoir (a benefit concert at Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton, tomorrow at 5), Westminster Williamson Voices (at Westminster Choir College’s Bristol Chapel, tomorrow at 8 p.m.), Westminster Choir (also at Bristol Chapel, Sunday at 3), Westminster Kantorei (at Bristol on 11/20 at 8), The Dryden Ensemble (an all-Purcell program at Princeton Theological Seminary’s Miller Chapel, on 11/21 at 7:30, and Trinity Episcopal Church in Solebury, Pa., on 11/22 at 3), and Westminster Jubilee Singers (at Bristol, on 11/22 at 7).
The Princeton Girlchoir will join The Princeton Singers for the New Jersey premiere of Steven Sametz’s “A Child’s Requiem,” written in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. On the same program will be Vaughan Williams’ poignant “Serenade to Music” (at Princeton Meadow Church and Event Center, on 11/21 at 8 p.m.).
It’s a lot to take in. Find out more about it in my article in today’s Trenton Times:
