  • 2017 Milwchoristers Springprogram.Indd
    Welcome ... And thank you for joining us for the Milwaukee Choristers' first-ever celebration of female composers! There is no question that women have been making significant contributions to choral music since the middle ages; however, they have faced many obstacles as composers and performers throughout history and their achievements have gone largely overlooked. Tonight's program, crafted by Dr. James B. Kinchen, Jr., features some of the most influential female composers in Western music—as well as some of the Choristers' favorite contemporary female choral composers and arrangers. We invite you to read Dr. Kinchen's program notes (beginning on page 7 to learn more about these fascinating, talented women who broke barriers and made their mark, even if they did not achieve recognition during their lifetimes. Please take note of some important dates for your calendar: • Our next audition for new members will be Wednesday, May 3 at Wauwatosa Avenue United Methodist Church in Wauwatosa. Visit www.milwaukeechoristers.org for audition details and helpful information. • The Choristers will join Dr. Kinchen’s UW-Parkside choirs and the UW-Parkside orchestra in a performance of Johannes Brahms' immortal A German Requiem on Saturday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 30 at 3:30 p.m. at UW-Parkside Frances Bedford Concert Hall (900 Wood Rd., Kenosha). Visit www.uwp.edu/therita or call 262-595-2564 for ticket information. • Looking ahead to next season, we will present our annual Christmas concerts on Friday, December 8 and Saturday, December 9, 2017 at St. Mary's Visitation in Elm Grove.
