SPECIAL PERFORMANCE
GREENBRIER VALLEY CHORALE
SPRING CONCERT
Still We Sing
SUNDAY, APRIL 26, at 3 P.M.
GV Chorale Spring Concert Will Celebrate American Music
The Greenbrier Valley Chorale will join in this year’s celebration of America’s 250th birthday with a spring concert featuring music that spans the decades from the days of the American Revolution to the 21st century. The concert will take place at 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 26, at Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg.
​
The concert, entitled Still We Sing, is a tribute to the fortitude that inspires us to keep singing through times of triumph and tragedy. The selections will include the beloved traditional folk song Shenandoah; selections from that most all-American of Broadway musicals, The Music Man; and the pop standard Lovely Day by West Virginia’s own Bill Withers.
​
Other works reflect the hope and faith of Americans during troubled times, including Negro Spirituals that guided enslaved people to freedom; John Rudder’s Kyrie from Memorial, written in commemoration of the September 11 attacks; and Eric Whitacre’s Sing Gently, which inspired singers and listeners from around the world when it was performed by a virtual choir of 17,572 voices during the Covid 19 pandemic.
​
The Greenbrier Valley Chorale is made up of 50 singers from across the Greenbrier Valley and beyond. With a tradition of performing beautiful and inspiring choral music for more than 30 years, the choir is known for its broad-ranging repertoire and high quality performances. Barbara Wygal Lutz is the group’s founding artistic director, and Teresa Bryant is the accompanist.
