The Utah Symphony is con- ducted by Thierry Fischer. Founded in 1962, the A Cappella Choir offers singers the opportunity to perform works for larger choirs and to fi ne- tune the art of choral singing through exposure to music from Utah Chamber Artists the Renaissance through the twenty-fi rst century. Choir mem- bers hone musicianship skills such as rhythm, sight-reading, and the understanding of complex scores. They develop an understanding of the intricacies of vocal production, includ- ing pitch, and how to blend individual voices together into a unifi ed, beautiful sound. In recent years, the A Cappella Choir has become a standard of excellence in student singing in the State of Utah. Last fall, they sang Mozart’s Trinity Mass with the Utah Symphony and the Utah Symphony Chorus under the direction of Thierry Fischer. This renewed a tradition of collaboration between the choirs of the University of Utah and the Utah Symphony, and their outstanding performance resulted in invitations for return engagements in 2015. Utah Chamber Artists was established in 1991 by Barlow University of Utah Chamber Choir Bradford and James Lee Sorenson. The ensemble comprises forty singers and forty players who create a balance and so- nority rarely found in a combined choir and orchestra.

Herrndorf President and Chief Executive Officer/ Président et chef de la direction Reflection As a British ex-patriate to Canada, I’ve become fascinated with ideas of the North. It’s not just the experience of shovelling snow or learning to ski at Mont Tremblant – though I’ve done both of those! It’s the way that the North influences every aspect of Canadian culture – from sport to song, from art to architecture, from fashion to film. I’m excited to delve into the myriad aspects of living in this vast, boreal country with our Ideas of North Festival, celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation and Finland’s centennial year. The Ideas of North Festival has set the NAC humming with special exhibitions, film screenings, architectural presentations, pre-concert chats, post-concert parties and, of course, concerts. Our lineup of seven concerts showcases music from Canada and our circumpolar neighbour, Finland, which this year celebrates its 100th anniversary of independence.

Tiivistelmä Referat – Abstract Populaarimusiikissa soundi – eli se, miltä musiikki kuulostaa – on tärkeä elementti. Uudet rock- ja pop-yhtyeet pyrkivät luomaan oman soundinsa, joka on tunnistettava ja erottuu muista. Samoin nykypäivän lauluyhtyeille, kuten suomalaiselle Rajattomalle on tärkeää löytää oma soundinsa, jolla erottua muista. Soundin keskeisyys todetaan lukuisissa populaarimusiikkia käsittelevissä teoksissa, mutta sitä ei kuitenkaan ole juuri tutkittu. Tässä tutkimuksessa tutkin, mistä elementeistä lauluyhtye Rajaton rakentaa soundinsa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on luoda kokonaiskuva Rajattoman musiikin ominaispiirteistä ja siitä, miten eri musiikilliset elementit yhdistyvät yhdeksi kokonaisuudeksi musiikin soundissa, eli kuulokuvassa.

  • 2021 Kammerchor Spring Concert
    I SpringBelieve Kammerchor Concert LIVE STREAMING SUNDAY, MARCH 28, 2021 | 3:30PM THE CHAPEL OF CHRIST TRIUMPHANT DR. ALEXA DOEBELE, director KAMMERCHOR “IProgram Believe” to be selected from the following: I. I Believe This Is Jesus Spiritual, arr. Undine Smith Moore (1904-1989) Initially trained as a classical pianist, Undine Smith Moore later turned to composition and became known as the “Dean of Black Women Composers.” Her early compositions were composed exclusively in the Western classical tradition, but after 1953 she not only began composing more, she also increasingly incorporated aspects of African-American music traditions. She saw “black folk music and Bach as true influences” on her compositions. “I Believe This Is Jesus” is one of her arrangements of African-American spirituals for choir, her preferred musical medium. This spiritual is not only a statement of faith, but also an invitation to others to “come and see” Jesus. Here I Am Ariel Quintana (b. 1965) Shelby Decker, piano Ariel Quintana is an Argentinian composer who received his musical training both in Argentina and in the United States. He now lives and works in California as a composer, but also as the choir director at First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood and as director of choral activities at La Sierra University. “Here I Am,” a setting of Isaiah 58:6-9 for choir and piano, was commissioned by the Irvine United Congregational Church. The piece begins with a declamatory quasi-recitative that depicts the starkness of the hungry and op- pressed. Verse 8, “Then your light will break forth like the dawn,” then becomes a recurring theme set with lush chords and a full-sounding accompaniment.
