Greetings Music Lovers and Enthusiasts!
It is with great excitement that I begin my 2nd season as Artistic Director of the Granite State Choral Society. This is an extraordinary choral ensemble whose passion for singing brings joy to each and every rehearsal.
The holiday season is a magical time, filled with joy, harmony, and a sense of togetherness. At the Granite State Choral Society, we aim to capture the spirit of this season through the power of music. Sounds of the Season will be a captivating experience that will transport you to a world of musical wonder.
One of the unique aspects of our choir is the wide variety of musical genres we explore. From traditional choral classics, to contemporary compositions, from sacred to popular holiday tunes, we strive to present a diverse repertoire that appeals to all musical tastes. This year’s concert series will be no exception, as a program that showcases the rich tapestry of sounds and emotions associated with the holiday season has been curated. With programing of contemporary pieces such as Elaine Hagenberg’s,” “Measure Me Sky,” to the quintessential holiday masterwork, Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus,” there will truly be “something for everyone.”
As you join us for Sounds of the Season, be prepared to be moved by the enchanting melodies, soaring harmonies, and the sheer joy that emanates from our passionate choir. Our dedicated singers rehearse weekly, pouring their hearts and souls into each piece, in order to create a performance that will leave our audiences spellbound.
It is an honor and a pleasure to be the Artistic Director of the Granite State Choral Society with their unwavering dedication and commitment. Their love for music and their desire to share it with our community are truly inspiring. It is a breath of fresh air to lead such a talented and enthusiastic group of individuals.
To our loyal patrons and supporters, I extend my heartfelt thanks for your continued encouragement and enthusiasm. Your presence in the audience not only fuels our performers but also reinforces the vital role that music plays in our lives. Your support allows us to continue creating extraordinary musical experiences that touch hearts and bring communities together.
Whether you are an experienced vocalist or someone who simply loves to sing in the shower, the Granite State Choral Society welcomes you with open arms. Our inclusive and supportive community is built upon a shared passion for music and the joy it brings to our lives. As a member of our choir, you will have the opportunity to explore a rich tapestry of musical genres, from classical masterpieces to contemporary favorites, from the exuberant rhythms of gospel to the harmonies of folk and everything in between.
Come and join us for an unforgettable musical journey as we celebrate the Sounds of the Season.
Together, let us revel in the joy and beauty of the holiday season through the power of music. I look forward to sharing this extraordinary experience with each and every one of you.
Warmest regards,
Sandra M. Thomas Director, Granite State Choral Society
