Under the Lights of Broadway - March 27, 2012

On March 27, the Civic Chorus performed a variety of musical theater songs in their spring concert, Under the Lights of Broadway.  This was the program:

• Hello, Dolly!
• Any Dream Will Do
• Little Shop of Horrors
• All I Ask of You - Deb and Drew
• I Could Have Danced All Night - Clarissa
• The Song That Goes Like This - Aimee and Kirk
• They Call the Wind Maria
• Get Me to the Church on Time

At the end of "The Song That Goes Like This" I saw my life flash before my eyes when Kirk broke the goblet on the piano and the glass came flying.  Luckily it just missed. 

Kirk & Aimee - "The Song that Goes Like This"

Songs from musical theater are always a favorite, with the Chorus and the audience.  I really liked "They Call the Wind Maria."  Check out the video playlist and see what you think.

Evanston Civic Orchestra Planning Messiah 2012

It might seem a little early to be thinking about a christmas concert, but mark your calendars now!  The Evanston Civic Orchestra Board is in the early planning stages of the 2012 production of Handel's Messiah.  The performance is scheduled for Sunday, December 16, 2012.  Ryan North will rehearse the choir again this year, and the whole community is invited to participate.  No experience is necessary.  Rehearsals will be on Thursdays from 6:00 - 8:00, starting in the fall.  Feel free to pass this along to your friends who might be interested in participating.

There aren't too many details about the performance solidified at this time, but you can check out the website to watch video and a slideshow of the 2010 performance.
