Town Talk: A conversation with David Freese, The Valley Chorale – Earth Day Concerts
In this Town Talk, our publisher Mike McCool speaks with David Freese from The Valley Chorale.
The Valley Chorale brings top-notch choral music to the northern Shenandoah Valley. As a semi-professional ensemble, their aim is to put great choral music at the heart of civic and community life and, in so doing, entertain, illuminate and uplift our families, friends, and neighbors. The men, women, and youth in their current roster of some 30 singers represent Frederick, Clarke, Warren, Shenandoah, and Rockingham counties.
In celebration of Earth Day 2022, The Valley Chorale presents three innovative, immersive concert experiences in Front Royal and Winchester! Concertgoers will be surrounded by live choral singing and keyboard accompanied by an enthralling, large-scale conceptual video work (specially commissioned by the Chorale) as they explore the planet’s beauty as well as its peril.
The Friday performance features the Skyline Middle School Singers, and the Saturday performance takes place in Theater 5 at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Winchester with its signature food/beverage service available. Net proceeds benefit The Valley Chorale. Click here to purchase Alamo concert tickets.
Showcasing American composer Dan Forrest’s gorgeous, five-movement REQUIEM FOR THE LIVING, this unforgettable concert event is not to be missed!
