Commemorative CD for 50th Season released

Posted by Felgenhour on in Concerts, Contributions 0 Comment

To help commemorate the 50th Season of the Steiner Chorale the Steiner Chorale has compiled a collection of recordings from many of our 50 years of performing great choral music to the greater Lansing area.  The CD is entitled, “Steiner Chorale: 50 Years of Jubilant Song”.  This CD is not intended to be a selection representing “best of” performances of the chorale. Rather, these contents reflect an amalgam of performances of varying quality and varied recording mediums that we’ve selected as representative of our years of making music.

A very special thanks to longstanding Steiner member, Leo Sell, for putting this CD together.  To order your copy of this CD, click here.

Please come to one of The Steiner Chorale’s performances of Mozart’s Requiem and Gustav Holst’s “Two Psalms”.

Performing Mozart Requiem Twice

Posted by Felgenhour on in Concerts 0 Comment

Requiem was the very last work penned by Mozart before his most untimely death. The composition has been the subject of debate, historical intrigue, and the musical center around which the plot of an Academy Award-winning film was spun. It also happens to be one of the most beloved of Mozart’s major compositions and most widely performed by choral ensembles the world over.

The Steiner Chorale’s middle concert series of its 50th season will feature Mozart’s Requiem, and the program will include two Psalms by English composer Gustav Holst.

The first of two concerts will be led by conductor Suren Petrosyan, the Chorale, with the Mason Symphony Orchestra, and will present this program on March 16 at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. Concert time is 7:30 pm. Tickets are $10, and can be purchased at the door or online at SteinerChorale.org/tickets.

The second of two concerts will be presented on March 17 at First United Methodist Church in Eaton Rapids and will be accompanied by a small ensemble and conducted by Corb H. Felgenhour and feature soloists from the chorale itself. Concert time is 3 pm. Tickets are $10 and $5 for students, can be purchased at the door or online at SteinerChorale.org/tickets.
