The Path of Joy
Join us on Saturday, March 19 at 7:30pm and Sunday, March 20 at 4:00pm at Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church for The Path of Joy, the next concert in our 2021-22 Season. From Gerald Finzi’s My Spirit Sang All Day to our first live performance of the inspirational Morning Light by our Composer-in-Residence, Kevin Siegfried, we invite you to join us for a concert celebrating the joy of the choral art in all its glorious diversity. Britten’s haunting Missa Brevis in D for treble voices is coupled with the rarely heard Invocation by Claude Debussy for tenor and bass voices and highlights the artistry of the Chorale’s new accompanist, Brent Erstad. Also featured are three settings of the Song of Solomon text “Ego Flos Campi” (I am the Rose of Sharon) by Clemens non Papa, William Billings and the brilliant antiphonal choir work Missa Ego Flos Campi by the South American composer Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla.
We will be joined by the Commonwealth Brass ensemble under the leadership of Dr. Chuck Seipp who will not only accompany us on the Padilla, but also perform the Canzon Septimi Toni* No. 2* by Giovanni Gabrieli.
We intend to perform The Path of Joy in person on both days. In order to do that, we are requiring proof of vaccination and masking for all attendees, as well as limiting the capacity of each concert to allow for distancing. Specific requirements for all policies are listed at the bottom of this page. We do not have the capacity to accept negative COVID-19 Test Results in lieu of vaccination. Unfortunately, this also means that children who are not fully vaccinated cannot attend.
Because of that, we are also offering an On-Demand ticket option for those who cannot or choose not to attend this concert in person. By purchasing this ticket, you will receive the recording (NOT a live stream) of Sunday's concert, which will be available to watch after April 1. Everyone who purchases a ticket to attend in person will also receive access to the On Demand recording, so if you cannot attend at the last minute, you will still be able to see the performance.
This is a pay-what-you-can performance with suggested ticket prices. You can edit the ticket price if you would like to pay a different amount on any of the below ticket options.
If you have any questions about the outlined policies, aren't sure which ticket to buy, or need to inquire about refunds, please contact us at tickets@capitolhillchorale.org.
