Antonio Vivaldi - Jazz "Five Seasons"
Antonio Vivaldi - Gloria
Dr. Maria Manzo, Conductor
Michael Kissinger Jazz Quartet
Bravo! Chamber Choir / NW Chamber Orchestra
VENUE: St. Luke's Episcopal Church
This will be the BEST show of the year! We perform two audience favorites by the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741). His Gloria is a joyous piece that reflects the vibrant musical life of Venice. The Bravo! Chorale joins with The Madeleine Choir to present this popular piece. Our version of Vivaldi's Four Seasons is something different: it’s The Five Seasons – a cool jazz version of Vivaldi’s music for clarinet, strings, bass, drums and piano. Arranged by Hollywood film composer Jorge Calandrelli, The Five Seasons will be performed by clarinetist Michael Kissinger, his jazz quartet and our Northwest Chamber Orchestra. It’s Carnival time, Ciao!

Northwest Chamber
VENUE: St. Luke's Episcopal Church
America is rich and diverse in our musical heritage. “High Lonesome” is a style that Bill Monroe, known as the "Father of Bluegrass," popularized throughout the world. This concert features a Bluegrass Mass called "Come Away to the Skies: A High, Lonesome Mass" by composer Tim Sharp and Wes Ramsey. It’s a joyful, fun – and beautiful – piece that blends American Bluegrass with the music and lyrics from the Mass. We’ll also perform American Spirituals, Folk Songs and Broadway classics. Guest artists include Banjo Virtuoso Mitch Iimori and Broadway Baritone Douglas Webster. Banjos, fiddles, and great American songs. What could be better?
