Canisius College Chorale to perform at Annunciation Church

Mar 7, 2017 | Arts & Culture

The Canisius College Chorale, under the direction of Frank Scinta, will continue its 2016-2017 Sacred Spaces Concert Series with a performance at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, March 26, at the Church of the Annunciation, 7580 Clinton Street, Elma. 

The program, free and open to the public, will feature the works of Vivaldi, Whitacre, Lauridsen, Dawson and many others.

Sacred Spaces stems from an idea the choir proposed seven years ago to feature its music in some of Western New York’s most beautiful and acoustically resonant environments, namely the sanctuaries of our region’s present and former churches. As a result, the choir has visited nearly 30 houses of worship with its repertoire of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries. 

Now in its twentieth season, the Canisius College Chorale remains one of Western New York’s most active collegiate music ensembles. Composed of 120 undergraduate and graduate members, the chorale regularly presents concert programs to school, church and community audiences throughout Western New York and Southern Ontario. In recent years, the Chorale has performed with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Ars Nova Chamber Musicians, Canerata di Sant’ Antonio Chamber Orchestra, Amherst Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus and the Dave Brubeck Quartet.
