Our Annual Gala: October 19, 2019
Annual Halloween concert: October 26, 2019
Join us for our annual concert for children in the greater New Haven community. The Chorale will be dressed in Halloween costumes and we invite our audience to do the same!
On the cusp of our seventieth anniversary season, the NHC is excited to announce that we have received a generous grant from Wells Fargo in the amount of $2,500.00 to support our fall gala, The Dueling Pianos, LIVE! In announcing the grant award, Wells Fargo affirmed its partnership with and recognition of the Chorale in shared service to the Greater New Haven area, saying, “We are proud to support your organization as we work together to build stronger communities.”
If you’d like to join Wells Fargo in supporting the Chorale, please join us at our annual gala on October 19 at The Farms Country Club in Wallingford, CT, where The Dueling Pianos, LIVE! will pay tribute to the incredible music of Elton John and Billy Joel. Details will be forthcoming. Thanks to sponsors such as Wells Fargo and the ongoing commitment of friends like you, we will be celebrating seven decades of delivering exceptional music and spirit to New Haven…and paving the way for many more to come!
Continuing its tradition of community outreach, members of the Chorale performed a wide-ranging selection of pieces for a full house at Evergreen Woods Retirement Community in North Branford on May 13th. The concert, following on the heels of the climactic performance at Woolsey Hall two weeks earlier, marked the close of the chorale’s 69th season, and its fifteenth under the direction of conductor Edward Bolkovac.
On October 27th at Trinity Church on the Green, the New Haven Chorale hosted children and families at its annual Halloween performance. Over 300 people attended this fun and educational event, designed to give children the opportunity to hear classical music, learn how a choir functions and even lift the baton to conduct. Following the free concert, costumed Chorale members mingled with little witches, pirates and superheroes at a reception where the children were given goody bags. Rainy weather could not spoil the excitement and success of this safe and musical way to enjoy Halloween.
“The program was put together with such artistry—as a listener I was brought on a journey ... Beautifully performed!”
“Great community cultural asset.”
“I thought and felt emotionally moved to heights and depths that music does not usually move me. I was overwhelmed with the beauty of it.”
