Octavo Singers of Schenectady — I Looked for Peace – Nov 21

Andrew Burger, Artistic Director and Diane Deacon, President

Location; Union College Memorial Chapel at 3 pm

Featuring the poetry of Walt Whitman, Ralph Vaughan Williams’ stirring setting of Dona Nobis Pacem issues a poignant plea to a world on the brink of World War II. It’s paired with the vibrant and colorful Gloria by François Poulenc. Presented with full orchestra, these twentieth-century masterworks start our season with a truly inspiring message.

There will be a shuttle bus at the Union College Parking lot at the corner of Nott and Seward Streets so parking and getting to the chapel on time will not be a problem. Go to their website for more information.

Mission: Sharing the best of choral music with the Capital region.
