Members of the Connecticut Choral Society had a wonderful year celebrating our 31st
Anniversary season! Our very special Candlelight and Carols concerts were sell-outs,
and featured Kate Taylor and her graceful and expressive dancing, along with the
New York Boychoir with Mark Pacoe on organ. Our singers and friends are still raving
about the special music and spirit of these events.
Our spring concerts, Symphony of Voices were just as wonderful. We presented two
amazing concerts featuring Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No. 1 - A Sea Symphony
with our good friends in the New Jersey Choral Society
In July, a group of our CCS singers traveled to England to present a pre-Olympics
concert, Light the Fire Within. Our maestro Eric Dale Knapp conducted the Chorus
and Orchestra, with Linda Sweetman-Waters on piano. Members of our sister chorus,
the New Jersey Choral Society, also sang. It was so special for us to do this concert
on July 4 in Cadogan Hall. We shared Beethoven’s inspiration through his choral
Opus of the 9th Symphony and performed other well known pieces associated with the
Olympics.
This was a very exciting season!
