As we approach the fall, Kings Chorale is getting ready for another exciting season!
First, Monday night brings us our annual corn boil at the Clark’s cottage! It will be great to see everyone again after a restful summer.
Then, on Monday, September 9 we begin rehearsals for our Christmas concert. Rehearsals are held at the Berwick Baptist Church on Commercial Street in Berwick from 7:30 to 9:30.
We are always looking for new singers. If you are interested in singing a combination of easily accessible and challenging music, we would love to have you join us!
Kings Chorale is pleased to announce that it is beginning rehearsals on Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concert. The work, a compilation of three different “Sacred Concerts” was written late in Ellington’s life. It is scored for chorus, soprano solo, and big band. We are excited that the Annapolis Big Band, directed by Richard Bennett, will be joining us for this concert.
In addition, it is probably a work that has never been performed in Nova Scotia before this.
Mark your calendars! Saturday, May 4 at 7:30 pm in The Theatre at West Kings!
See you there!
Kings Chorale begins its new season in a new rehearsal venue tonight! We look forward to rehearsing in the hall of the Berwick Baptist Church. Rehearsals are from 7:30 to 9:30.
We are excited to be preparing a concert of music set to poetry of Robbie Burns! Different from our usual fare, but exciting nonetheless. Looking forward to a performance on January 25, 2013 on Robbie Burns Day!
Congratulations to Kings Chorale, the Baroque N’ Fiddle String Quartet, cellist Colin Matthews, mezzo-soprano Christianne Rushton, bassist Pam Mason, and narrator Charles Bull for an excellent performance at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.

Thanks to composer Donald Patriquin for his very moving Requiem on poetry by Wolfgang Kater. And thanks to Donald as well for attending both concerts.
