Bronx Concert Singers' 34th Annual Spring Concert - Choral Collage
Join The Bronx Concert Singers (BCS) and music director Robert René Galván on Sunday, May 17, 2015 at 4:30 pm for their 34th Annual Spring Concert: Romantic to Modern Masters - A Choral Collage at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1891 McGraw Avenue, in Parkchester, Bronx, NY. This collection of works by Beethoven, Schubert, modern era and contemporary classical composers will be performed by the BCS chorus, with keyboardist Tamara Cashour, professional soloists and chamber orchestra.
Romantic to Modern Masters: A Choral Collage represents a musical journey from the beginning of the Romantic period, the early 19th century, to the present. Maestro Galvan has chosen poignant, expressive works whose texts, colors and sonorities transcend the passage of time. In addition to works by the classical music greats, this program includes compositions by lesser-known modern and contemporary composers such as Amy Beach (Mrs. H.H.A Beach) the celebrated late 19th early 20th century American composer and pianist, and Grammy Award winning 21st century American composer and professor of music at Concordia College, René Clausen.
BCS's 34th Annual Spring Concert is made possible with public funds from the Bronx Council on the Arts through the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program, and through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs' Greater New York Arts Development Fund Program, and the support of local businesses, organizations and individuals who appreciate the arts.
The Bronx Concert Singers is a nonprofit volunteer concert choir founded in the Parkchester section of the Bronx by people from all walks of life who love singing great choral music. The chorus presents classical music concerts with either professional orchestra or chamber ensemble and has been a source of cultural enrichment in the community since 1981. BCS is the chorus-in-residence at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church.
