Come Sing! – Battenkill Chorale Invites New Singers For Winter Concert
The Battenkill Chorale is now accepting experienced choral singers for their winter concert. The program features Handel’s Coronation Anthems and Mozart’s Coronation Mass.
Rehearsals begin on September 19 and are held on Thursday evenings (7:30-9:45pm) at Hubbard Hall in Cambridge, NY. The concert will be performed on Sunday, January 19 at 3:00 pm at the Zankel Music Center at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY.
The Battenkill Chorale is an un-auditioned chorus with singers from six counties in New York, Massachusetts, and Vermont. It was founded twenty-five years ago by Janet McGhee and is recognized as one of the premier amateur choruses in the Capitol Region. McGhee retired last year and her legacy continues with the Chorale’s new Artistic Director, Noah Palmer.
Palmer, a conductor and pianist, is one of the Capital Region’s most in demand collaborators. In addition to being Artistic Director of the Battenkill Chorale he is Assistant Director and Accompanist for Albany Pro Musica and Assistant Conductor of the Broad Street Chorale and Orchestra in Kinderhook, NY. In 2019, he founded the Palmer Quartet, a piano quartet based in New York’s Hudson Valley. In April he debuted with the Battenkill Chorale as their guest conductor.
There is a $35 membership fee per concert program, plus the cost of music. To pre-register, call 518.677.3544 or email battenkillchorale402@nullgmail.com. For more information visit: battenkillchorale.org.
Understanding Shakespeare – The Comedy of Errors
Join us at the Troy Public Library on Thursdays, September 12th – October 10th from 6:30PM – 7:30PM for our Understanding Shakespeare workshop.
This will be a five-session program on how to understand Shakespeare’s plays. We will start our discussion with Act 1 of Shakespeare’s comedy “The Comedy of Errors.” Then in the following four weeks we will discuss the play one act at a time. This program will allow the participants to put the play in a variety of contexts, such as its relationship to his other works and to the modern existential world. Tom Bulger, Shakespeare Scholar and retired professor from Siena College will lead this workshop.
Copies of “The Comedy of Errors” will be available at the circulation desk. Please have Act One read for the September 12th discussion.
This program is free and open to the public. Registration is necessary. For more information and to register, call the library at 274-7071 or online at www.thetroylibrary.org. The Troy Public Library is located at 100 Second Street, Troy, NY.
