Grand River Chorus 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES   The Grand River Chorus launches its ninth season this fall with a December 1 CD release concert, A Grand Christmas – followed by a sing-along Handel’s Messiah in late December, Haydn’s Oratorio The Creation in April, and Double Choir Splendour at two venues in June.   In May the Grand River Chorus travels to Carnegie Hall to participate in another performance of Haydn’s Creation.    “This season breaks new ground with our first CD, our first partnership concert with the Brantford Symphony Orchestra, and our first performance in Norfolk County as we present Double Choir Splendour at Our Lady of LaSalette Church” explains artistic director Richard Cunningham – a man committed to leading this mixed-voice community chorus to even greater heights.   The chorus was established in 1999 to present an annual concert series of classical choral music. It is now widely recognized as a leading artistic force in the community.   The growing sixty-five voice choir seeks every opportunity to raise the profile of choral music and often partners in performance with other arts organizations. It rehearses Monday evenings and welcomes new singers.   Richard Cunningham, artistic director David Neumann, president 519-841-9708 grandriverchorus@rogers.com  ctenor@rogers.com  www.grandriverchorus.com
