Knoxville Choral Society performance; image submitted

The Knoxville Choral Society begins the new decade by taking a step back to examine humankind’s place in the vastness of the universe. The past meets the present both musically and textually in this concert, entitled Stargazer, where the Knoxville Choral Society begins to pull back the veil of centuries-old mysticism that surrounds the stars, planets, and the universe. Stargazer will feature music that takes a fresh and unusual approach to writing for choir. The concert will center around Ralph Vaughan Williams’ 5 Mystical Songs and Ola Gjeilo’s Sunrise Mass along with shorter choral works "Seek Him That Maketh The Seven Stars" by Jonathan Dove and Eric Whitcre’s "Lux Nova".

Take a journey among the stars with the Knoxville Choral Society under the baton of the Assistant Director, Andrew Duncan, for Stargazer. The Stargazer performance takes place Thursday, March 12, 2020, at 7:30 PM at Central Bearden Baptist Church, 6300 Deane Hill Dr., Knoxville, TN 37919. Tickets are $15. Tickets can be purchased at the door, from a choral society member or by visiting the Knoxville Choral Society website, www.knoxvillechoralsociety.org.
