Georgetown Bach Chorale

2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES
 

The Georgetown Bach Chorale is an auditioned ensemble of 18 choristers, performing locally and in the surrounding communities.
   
Although choral music is a staple of its programmes, the chorale also sponsors instrumental, chamber and solo performances throughout the season. The Chorale’s concerts give audiences the opportunity to experience and enjoy a wide range of classical music in a variety of settings. Churches and galleries are the standard performing venues, but the chorale also offers several more intimate concerts throughout the year in a private home.
 
In keeping with the Baroque style, the ensemble is led from the harpsichord by its music director, Ronald Greidanus. Although the choir concentrates on the major choral works of Bach, the music of Vivaldi, Buxtehude and Mozart are also on this season’s programme.
 
 Highlights include Bach’s Concerto for Three Harpsichords, Bach’s “Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring”, an evening of madrigals and motets with guest Linda Melsted on the violin, and a concert of dueling pianos featuring Ron Greidanus and Kathryn Tremills. The season will be capped in April with a performance of Mozart’s Requiem.
