West Village Chorale Spring Concert: "Vigil for Peace"
Event Information
About this event
The cherry blossoms are in bloom, Spring has sprung, and the West Village Chorale's Spring concert is fast approaching. Please join us Sunday, May 22nd at Judson Memorial Church for "Vigil for Peace."
Led by our Artistic Director and Conductor Colin Britt, the program will feature sacred works by Ukrainian composers past and present, including Dmitry Bortniansky's "Dostojno Jest" and excerpts from Roman Hurko's "Vespers," along with the transcendent "All-Night Vigil" of Sergei Rachmaninoff--a piece widely acknowledged to be one of the most stunning in the choral canon. We are thrilled to bring these works to the magnificent acoustic of our home at Judson Memorial Church.
The West Village Chorale sings in solidarity with Ukraine for freedom and self-determination, against imperialism and war. Our commitment, which we have embedded into this program, is to peace and justice above all. We will also donate a portion of the concert's proceeds to organizations dedicated to relief efforts in Ukraine.
Advance purchase is strongly recommended as COVID limitations may impact capacity.
**Please be advised that Judson's elevator is unfortunately out of service at this time, so access to the concert will require approximately two flights of stairs from street level. We apologize for the inconvenience.**
