Greenbrier Valley Chorale Spring Concert
Features Music of Broadway
The Greenbrier Valley Chorale
invites you to celebrate Mothers’ Day a few hours early with an evening of
beautiful choral music. The ensemble will present its annual Spring Concert
at Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg, WV, on Saturday May 10, at 7:30 p.m. Much
of the program will be devoted to music from the Broadway stage, with a
medley of tunes by Stephen Sondheim and selections from Lerner and Lowe’s “Brigadoon.”
Sondheim’s virtuosity will be on display in
selections from “Company,” “Into the Woods,” “A Little Night Music,” “A
Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” “Evening Primrose” and
“Sweeney Todd.”
The lush score of “Brigadoon” includes the
rousing “I’ll Go Home with Bonnie Jean,” and “Down on MacConnachy Square;”
the beloved ballads “Come to Me, Bend to Me” and “Almost Like Being in
Love;” and the evocative title tune.
The Chorale also will perform the
spirituals “All My Trials” and ”Give Me Jesus” and an eclectic mix of other
selections including arrangements of Beatles songs performed by a small
ensemble.
The audience is invited to a reception hosted by
Chorale members in the Old Stone Room following the performance.
Tickets are $10 for adults. Children
through grade 12 are admitted free. There are no assigned seats. Tickets
can be purchased at the Carnegie Hall Box Office, 105 Church Street,
