In tribute to its past, present and future, The Contemporary Chorale will perform a program of choral music entitled, “When I Hear Music: The First Sixty Years: An Anniversary Celebration”. The excitement and history of the group’s musical journey from a women’s lecture group to a modern, adult show choir will be on full display as The Chorale presents songs from the 1950s to the present. Performances are at 2:30 pm and 7:30 pm, on May 14, 2016 at the Eisemann Center for Performing Arts, (2351 Performance Drive, Richardson).

Under the direction of Artistic Director, Melanie Moore, The Chorale will sing pop hits “And So It Goes” by Billy Joel, “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” by Paul Simon, “Marry You” by Bruno Mars, “Royals,” by Lorde and Joel Little, and many other selections. The concert also includes Broadway favorites such as “All That Jazz” from Chicago, and “One” from A Chorus Line. Additional musical and dance numbers are sure to inspire, delight, and entertain audiences of all ages.

The Chorale is bringing back The Virtual Contemporary Chorale to perform the concert’s title piece, “When I Hear Music”, by Michael Martin. Singers from around the world are featured in a video playing simultaneously as The Contemporary Chorale performs.
