Turtle Creek Chorale rehearsing for Anthems
Anthems, the Turtle Creek Chorale’s performance this weekend, is billed as a concert for peace and justice. But that’s something they’ve always done — whether it was about AIDS, breast cancer awareness, drug use in the LGBT community or other topics.
Artistic dirtector Sean Baugh describes this week’s concert as featuring “music that lyrically and rhythmically tells important stories — everything from slavery and the civil war to women’s rights to gay rights to the cause for peace.”
Asked what his one favorite piece of music in this concert is, he listed six — and those are in addition to a Peacekeepers, a music suite commissioned by the chorale.
In addition to Simon & Garfunkle’s “Sound of Silence” and Crosby, Stills Nash and Young’s “Ohio,” I’m looking forward to a new arrangement of Patty Griffin’s “Up to the Mountain.”
Tickets are available on the Turtle Creek website.
