The following professional soloists and keyboard artists will accompany the chorale:
Sean McCarthy, Director of Music and Organist at First Church of Christ in Wethersfield.
Stephen Scarlato, the piano accompanist for the Farmington Valley Chorale.
Lisa Williamson, soprano, teaches voice at the universities of Connecticut and Eastern Connecticut.
Meredith Ziegler, mezzo soprano, holds a Master of Music in voice from the University of Connecticut.
Travis Benoit, tenor, the Adjunct Voice Faculty at Phillips Academy.
Greg Rizzo-Flower, baritone, a member of the choral music faculty at Southington High School.
These masterworks “are both timeless and enduring, and speak to the current moment we are living in, in powerful ways,” says Dr. Voth.
