Morgan Wise from Harrisonburg and the SVCC Concert Choir will perform as part of the joint concert with the Shenandoah Valley Youth Orchestra at EMU Nov. 22. <\/div>\n

Double your musical intake, double your delight with a joint fall concert by the Shenandoah Valley Youth Symphony Orchestra and the Shenandoah Valley Children’s Choir (SVCC)<\/a> 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 22, in Lehman Auditorium. <\/p>\n

The youth symphony orchestra, part of EMU’s Preparatory Music Program<\/a>, has 38 members from Rockingham, Augusta, Shenandoah and Page counties as well as West Virginia. <\/p>\n

The auditioned group will perform the “First Symphony” (1st movement) by Beethoven, “In the Steppes of Central Asia” by Borodin and “Bacchanale” from “Samson & Delilah” by Saint-Saens. The ensemble is conducted by Maria Lorcas, violin teacher in the Preparatory Music program. <\/p>\n

The SVCC’s intermediate choir, the Treble Choir (ages 10-14), will sing Pergolesi’s “Glory to God,” the Swahili lullaby “Allunde, Alluia” with percussion and the Australian folksong “Kookaburra.” <\/p>\n

The Concert Choir (ages 11-17), will perform the medieval processional “Gaudete” with soloists, and “Midwinter,” a Christmas song by Bob Chilcott. They will also sing two songs they presented for former President Jimmy Carter at JMU’s Gandhi award ceremony Sept. 21, including “Celebration Medley” a three-song medley quoting the spirituals “Walk Together Children,” “Every Time I Feel the Spirit” and the African song “Yesu asali awa,” arranged by local composer Celah Pence. They will also sing President Carter’s favorite hymn, “Amazing Grace.” <\/p>\n

The Concert Choir will sing two songs they learned for the Pacific Rim Children’s Chorus Festival in Hawaii last summer: “Reel a Bouche,” a Canadian mouth-music song and “Sesere Eeye,” an a capella folksong from the Torres Straight Islands with the Treble Choir joining in. <\/p>\n

Guest instrumentalists will include percussionist Andrew Richardson, clarinetist Les Nicholas and chorister percussionists. Soloists will include Ben Elliott, 11, from Waynesboro, and Sophie Wellington, 13, from Staunton. <\/p>\n

Artistic Director Julia White will lead the choirs, and Principal Accompanist Maurita Eberly will play piano. <\/p>\n

A five-dollar donation is requested at the door to benefit the EMU Preparatory Music Program and the SVCC tuition assistance funds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
