A Sacred Tapestry
Saturday, October 23, 2010 | 7:30pm | Ardmore Baptist Church
PCS begins Season 33 with a tapestry of sacred music representing a variety of styles and historical periods. From the tranquility of Duruflé's plainsong-inspired motets to the awesome grandeur of Schütz and Bruckner, our first concert of the season explores a treasure-trove of sacred choral gems by exceptional composers. The Adult Choir of Ardmore Baptist Church will join us as we close the program with the beloved and moving setting of Ave Maria by Franz Biebl. |

A Ceremony of Carols
Friday, December 10, 2010 | 7:30pm | Ardmore Baptist Church
Nothing heralds the holiday season quite like a carol. We celebrate the English carol tradition with A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten. Inspired by plainsong melody and poetry from The English Galaxy of Shorter Poems, Britten penned what he referred to as "7 Christmas Carols" in 1942 as he passed the time aboard a Swedish cargo vessel from the US to the UK. Our performance of the 1955 arrangement for mixed chorus will feature soloists from PCS and harpist Helen Rifas. We compliment the Britten with a series of traditional and familiar carols bedecked in distinctively fresh arrangements that are sure to brighten your holiday spirit. |
