Our season-long celebration of the Baker Community Center centennial anniversary concludes with a diverse program of music performed by eight members of another St. Charles treasure – the St. Charles Singers.
CHECK BACK SOON FOR ONLINE TICKETING.
With piano accompaniment and under the direction of the choir’s founder, Jeff Hunt, members of the St. Charles Singers will present a varied program that connects with both the choir’s origins and its outlook for future musical explorations.
Repertoire for the concert may feature English and French Renaissance madrigals; folk songs and part songs on the theme of nature; SCS-commissioned works by contemporary composers such as Sir John Rutter, George Shearing, and Charles Forsberg; selections that touch on the jazz idiom; and a set of American music appropriate to the Baker Center centennial. The participating singers will curate the program, offering insights and anecdotes into the ensemble selections and solo selections. (Note: check back soon for photos and bios of participating singers.)
What better way to wrap up our season than with a twin salute to a St. Charles architectural landmark and a beloved musical ensemble!
