Welcome to the Voices Website
Welcome to the Voices website. As the choir is moving towards our 30th anniversary in 2026, we are continuing to return to some of our favorite compositions. Also, we are exploring new choral works that the choir will perform for the first time.
This season will open with a special performance on October 5th: Along with the Cathedral Bluffs Symphony Orchestra and Pax Christie Chorale, we will be performing in Beethoven’s Symphony 9, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the premiere of this monumental composition that changed the course of the symphonic genre. On December 15th, Voices will present their annual Christmas concert featuring Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Messe de minuit de Noël for this most joyous time of the year. Please note that this concert will be on a Wednesday evening, instead of our usual Saturday evening performance.
In March 2025, the choir will perform Luigi Cherubini’s Requiem. This unusual setting of the Requiem does not require any soloist, and it is scored for just choir and organ. Cherubini is not a household name in the classical world, but he was one of Beethoven’s favourite composers and he was also his pupil. Along with the Requiem, the choir will sing Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna as part of this concert for Lent.
To close out the season on May 31st, 2025, the choir will return to smaller works with an evening of music from psalms to songs, which will consist of a survey of choral songs for the last millennia.
Come and join us, as Voices returns to a season of celebration. We’re looking forward to seeing you in the audience.
“Since singing is so good a thing,
I wish all the world would learn to sing”
-William Byrd (1539/40-1623)
