Farmington Valley Chorale is pleased to present a celebratory program in a 50th anniversary concert on June 4 with newer works by composers Jake Runestad, Colin Britt and the premiere of a very special commissioned piece by Chorale’s own Artistic Director Ellen Gilson Voth.
In a nod to the composer’s 250th birth anniversary (2020), the program culminates with Beethoven’s stirring Choral Fantasy for chorus, featuring professional orchestra and pianist Anchie Donn.
Founded in 1970 as part of the Town of Simsbury’s tercentenary celebration, the 80-member Chorale has brought the best in classical choral music to Farmington Valley communities and beyond for over 50 years.
Voth will conduct this inspiring and joyful event. The concert will take place on Saturday, June 4, 7 p.m. at The Belding Theater at The Bushnell, 166 Capitol Avenue, Hartford. Tickets from $25 to $35 are available at the box office, at bushnell.org or by phone at 860-987-5900.
This concert is made possible by the generous support of Greater Hartford Arts Council, CT Humanities and the Connecticut Office of the Arts.
