ONE NIGHT ONLY (Membership discount does not apply)

A Winter’s Night
An evening with the Cherry Creek HS Meistersingers

This time-honored annual tradition brings together Kantorei and the Meistersingers of Cherry Creek High School. We are always pleased to be joined by this excellent group of young singers, as we encourage them to pursue the gift of singing beyond their high school experience. We invite you to bring the whole family for a program of familiar songs of Christmas – you’ll want to make it a part of your own holiday traditions.

Join us as we kick off our 2024-25 season with a performance of Grammy Award-winning Christopher Tin's captivating choral music. The program features the ethereal Transfigurations with lyrics by Charles Anthony Silvestri, focusing on the transfiguration of light into life, life into dust, and the transfiguration of the soul. Also featured is the world premiere of a piece commissioned by and written for Kantorei. Christopher Tin will conduct half of this concert, providing a rare opportunity to see a composer lead his own works.

Experience Tin's signature blend of classical and world music influences, with sweeping melodies and texts in multiple languages. This concert promises an unforgettable journey through the composer's evocative musical landscape.

In this culmination of our three-year relationship with Roger Holland as our Artist-in-Residence, Kantorei will present works drawn from his extensive catalogue, blending styles and techniques drawn from both Euro-American art music and African American choral traditions. Holland will conduct several pieces and be featured on piano. Included in this program is the world premiere of a new ambitious multi-movement work commissioned by and written for Kantorei, Ubuntu: I Am Because You Are, with chamber orchestra and featuring award-winning baritone Lester Lynch.

Throughout the history of western choral music, the motet has been one of the most important forms of choral music. It helped move choral music from solo chant into the glorious polyphonic music of the Renaissance and Baroque period. Highly spiritual in nature, motets serve as both contemplative and joyous responses. In this program, Kantorei surveys the history of the motet, performing works of Renaissance composers Josquin des Prez and Giovanni Palestrina moving into the height of the Baroque period with Johann Sebastian Bach’s Lobet den Herrn (BWV 230). Also included on the program is Johannes Brahms melancholic Warum ist das Licht gegeben (Op. 74 No. 1) as well as examples of famous motets from the 20th and 21st centuries.
