Winter, 2024
Our Winter, 2024 concert is entitled, “My Favorite Things.” This concert, scheduled for Saturday, February 17, 7:00pm, is a fundraising concert for us. The repertoire for this concert was decided by the current members of the group. Each person was asked to review the concert repertoire since 2009, then select their top five favorite choral pieces. The repertoire with the most votes would be the repertoire for this concert. After all the votes were tabulated, 14 “favorite” pieces will make up our concert repertoire. The top vote-getter was “Dark and Luminious Night” by Ola Gjeilo. Coming in second place was Josef Rheinberger’s “Abenlied.” You can review the entire concert list by clicking on the “concert repertoire” tab in the column to the left.
We are calling our February 17 concert a fundraising concert because we need to raise funds for the work of the Opus Chorale as well as funding our April 6 concert.
Spring, 2024
On Saturday, April 6, 2024, the Opus Chorale will present Karl Jenkins, “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace.” This concert will be in conjunction with the West Virginia Youth Symphony Orchestra, who will play alongside members of the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra.
