Your invitation to the 2003 – 2004 Concert Season…
If you are part of our regular family of concertgoers, we look forward to welcoming you back for another "season of song". If not, we extend a special invitation to come and see (and hear!) what you've been missing. We encourage you to take a moment to anticipate the possibilities in the upcoming season to share in the power and pleasure of the human voice raised in song! From the haunting, resonant beauty of Rachmaninoff's Vespers to the magic of musical theater and opera, we think you'll find something that will entice your senses and touch your heart. The Michael O'Neal Singers is pleased to offer a new season with music for the spirit…. music for all time. Experience the artistry of MOS, 15 years and counting… Under the direction of Dr. O'Neal, the chorus's rich, polished sound grows ever more powerful and beautiful as the group performs music drawn from a spectrum of centuries, cultures, and styles. Nationally and internationally recognized as a leader in choral excellence, Dr. O'Neal has established an outstanding reputation as a conductor, tenor soloist, and educator. His love for choral music and enthusiasm for its impact on the lives of participants and listeners alike is shared with the audience through entertaining and informative commentary during performances, as well as through the music itself.
An evening to celebrate America, as the chorus performs some of this country's most beloved melodies, with selections from patriotic, popular and folk genres. A highlight of the program is The Testament of Freedom by quintessential American composer Randall Thompson, which sets perfectly the words of founding father Thomas Jefferson.
The Atlanta Young Singers of Callanwolde join The Michael O'Neal Singers for a festive holiday concert which blends the old with the new, the familiar and traditional with unique seasonal repertoire. The full chorus accompanied by chamber orchestra performs Ottorino Respighi's Laud to the Nativity, a beautiful pastoral work that depicts the nativity of Jesus as the shepherds might have seen it.
Miniature: something small of its kind.
By turns haunting, serene, and magnificent, Rachmaninoff's Vespers (All Night Vigil) combines unaccompanied sacred texts with stirring melodies, rich bass lines, and moving expressions of spirit and awe. Drawing on several forms of ancient chant and liturgy dating from the 14th century, this glorious Russian choral masterpiece captivates listeners with its wonderfully unique blending of melodic and harmonic elements.
From glorious grand opera to dazzling Broadway tunes, The Michael O'Neal Singers will entertain you with engaging, memorable melodies by a wide array of composers including Verdi, Wagner, Puccini, and Elton John! In a special treat for Atlanta audiences, internationally acclaimed operatic tenor Michael Sylvester will be featured as guest artist with MOS in this thrilling season finale!
