Women's Choir and Orchestra Concert

The Women’s Choir will perform the regional premiere of Sarah Quartel’s five-movement work, “She Sang the Stars,” based on characters from the Finnish poem, “The Kalevala.” Also on the program are Z. Randall Stroope’s dramatic “Revelation”—which tells the biblical story of the apocalyptic final days—and upbeat favorites from Diana V. Sáez and Moses Hogan.

The Orchestra’s program will share stories through music, including Chris Sharp’s arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s “Sleeping Beauty Waltz” and James Kazik’s compilation of soundtrack highlights from John Williams’ “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Carrie Lane Gruselle’s arrangement of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade” will also shine as a Romantic era masterpiece inspired by the story of “1,001 Arabian Nights.”
