Galesburg Community Chorus to Perform
November 20, 2021 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$15The first concert of the season will take place on Saturday, November 20 at 7:30 pm at First Lutheran Church in Galesburg. It will feature Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living and Ola Gjeilo’s Luminous Night of the Soul, both for chorus and chamber orchestra.
According to Director Dr. Tim Pahel, “the music is truly gorgeous and is so expressive, sometimes uplifting, and sometimes full of pathos. It’s perfect for our first concert after the pandemic because we want to celebrate how beautiful and expressive choral music can be, that it’s something we really need in our lives.”
Tickets may be purchased at the door, and we ask that everyone wear a mask and social distance.
Sponsors of this season’s concerts include Blick Art Materials, OSF Healthcare, the Galesburg Community Foundation, the City of Galesburg, and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
The Galesburg Community Chorus, directed by Dr. Tim Pahel, is the oldest community music organization in the Galesburg area and is currently celebrating its 76th anniversary.
