COSHOCTON – "Let There Be Peace" is the theme of the Cardinal Chorale's reunion concert at the Coshocton Presbyterian Church on Sunday.
Thirty-five young singers from throughout Ohio will be part of the concert, sponsored by the Coshocton Community Choir. The singers met this past July for the eight-day Cardinal Chorale Music Workshop at Muskingum University. In addition to learning the musical repertoire, they participated in special interest sessions and evening programs. This reunion performance will be accompanied by Caroline S. Heading and conducted by Chad Putka and by Charles R. Snyder, who founded the Cardinal Chorale in 1995. In June, the Chorale will take its music across the state on a seven-day tour.
Snyder said the 90-minute concert is filled with numbers that audience members will enjoy including "Memories," "The River," "Side by Side," "The Nearness of You," "Bring Him Home" and more. The Coshocton Community Choir will join in the final set, including "Let There Be Peace on Earth," and what has become a Chorale standard, Paul Christiansen's setting of "This Is My Father's World."
The Cardinal Chorale concert on Sunday at 3 p.m. is free and open to the public. An offering will be received to help cover expenses for the weekend. The Chorale will also sing for the 10:30 a.m. worship service that Sunday morning in a combined service of Grace United Methodist Church and The Presbyterian Church.
The Presbyterian Church is located at 142 N. 4th St. in Coshocton. For more information about the concert, contact the Chorale office at (740) 623-0554. For more information about the Cardinal Chorale, visit their website at TheCardinalChorale.com.
