The Boise Master Chorale under the direction of Dr. James Jirak, is pleased to announce this year's concert season. The theme for the Chorale's 2008-2009 concert season is entitled "Music for All Ages", and will feature two local children's choirs.
Special guests for the October performances will be the Opera Idaho Children's Choir in an oratorio by Austrian composer, Heinrich Herzogenberg. Herzogenberg and his wife Elisabeth were friends of Johannes Brahms and they exchanged letters often. Herzogenberg's op. 90 was written in 1894 and tells the story of the birth of Christ. This church oratorio was chosen especially for our season theme, "Music for All Ages", and it features a little bit of something for everyone; familiar melodies, children's chorus, men's quartet, beautiful orchestration, and grand organ sounds.
Hallelujah, the Boise Master Chorale performs G. F. Handel's "Messiah" for you and yours during the holiday season with full orchestra, soloists, trumpets, timpani, and resounding choruses.
The Boise Master Chorale is particularly excited to appear with the Boise Philharmonic Orchestra in January. Under the baton of Maestro Robert Franz, the Chorale and Boise Philharmonic Orchestra will perform "Voices of Light" by Richard Einhorn during an onstage showing of the silent film "The Passion of Joan of Arc." This ethereal music premiered in 1994. (Tickets available only through the Boise Philharmonic.)
For the April concerts, the Chorale will feature the Capitol City Children's Chorus in a performance of John Rutter's "Mass for the Children". The music of English composer John Rutter is not unfamiliar to Boise Master Chorale audiences. His Mass of the Children, for soprano, baritone, children's choir, adult choir and orchestra, was premiered at Carnegie Hall in 2003. This inspirational music provides a beautiful conclusion to our concert season.
