Conversations – Spring 2025
For our Spring 2025 concert, we asked our singers to submit either poetry or prose, that helped to tell our choral concert ‘story’. We couldn’t use all of them in the concert, but we have give them space here on our website, to tell their story.
We thank all of our talented writers in the chorus. And, we share them all with you, now. The first 3 conversations were spoken during our concert.
Concert Review – Spring 2023
Stars Are Born
By Richard Boettger
Last Tuesday Keys Choral Arts went supernova at St. Paul’s. Closer to earth, I think Emily Boyd Lowe is smiling to see that her remarkable Chorales in the last century are not matched–if not, dare I say, exceeded–by Conductor Tim Peterson’s current version.
From the first phrase the rich blend of 70 voices was mesmerizing. The human voice is generally our ears’ favorite instrument, and to blend 50 in a balanced SATB is a challenge rewarded by aural ecstasy, when it can be accomplished. I actually started to weep in the first verse and it lasted through all three songs, before I ran out of juice–not tears of joy or sorrow, but from an overflow of emotion, the highest order of musical appreciation.
