[And Still We Sing…Life, Love & Lullabies; Nathaniel Dett Chorale]
Posted on Monday, June 28th, 2010.
“The Nathaniel Dett Chorale works hard to prepare for every performance. We spend lots of time in rehearsal fine tuning the intricacies of our repertoire, and Brainerd puts a lot of thought into the underlying thread of the concert to tie it all into one beautiful, educational, and truly unique concert experience for our audiences. So, it’s rewarding to see that our efforts have a lasting effect.
“More than one year after our And Still We Sing…Life, Love & Lullabies concert, Africlassical has made a blog posting about that concert, and about the prolific African American composer Adolphus Hailstork’s Five Short Choral Works. Life, Love & Lullabies was a wonderful soundscape of repertoire befitting of the concert’s title, and we look forward to continuing to share the many facets of the African Diaspora with audiences in Toronto and abroad.”
The Nathaniel Dett Chorale ended its 10th Anniversary Season with a program called “Life, Love & Lullabies,” performed in Toronto May 27 and 30, 2009. Audio samples of the program can be heard at: http://nathanieldettchorale.org/experience/booking/programs/life-love-lullabies/ [The Nathaniel Dett Chorale is a Canadian ensemble of professional vocalists who sing a wide-ranging Afrocentric repertoire. The Chorale is named for the pianist, composer and choral director R. Nathaniel Dett (1882-1943), who is profiled at AfriClassical.com. The website features a complete Works List compiled by Prof. Dominique-René de Lerma of Lawrence University Conservatory.]
