Valley Concert Chorale is tapping into American music present and past for its “Millennium and Memory” shows this Friday and Saturday at two churches in the Tri-Valley.
With a selection that spans the United States’ 250-year history, the Tri-Valley choral group will also perform the U.S. premiere of Margaret Shelton Meier’s “Mass for the Millennium” during its March concerts.
“These concerts feature works that inspire reflection, resilience and hope, highlighting the evolving American story through music,” VCC artistic director Joseph Castro said in a press release.
“At its center is the U.S. premiere of ‘Mass for the Millennium’ by Margaret Shelton Meier, a distinguished American composer known for her luminous harmonies and her ability to blend ancient liturgical tradition with contemporary choral expression,” Castro added. “Presenting Meier’s work allows us to highlight an important American voice while honoring the 250-year milestone in our nation’s history.”
“Millennium and Memory: An American Choral Celebration” is being performed at 7:30 p.m. Friday (March 13) at Lynnewood United Methodist Church in Pleasanton and at 7:30 p.m. Saturday (March 14) at First Presbyterian Church on 5th Street in Livermore.
