St. Mary’s Schola Cantorum Benefit Concert

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

197A6620 - Version 3

The St. Cecilia Society of St. Mary Church, Norwalk, Ct, will present its annual benefit concert in honor of St. Cecilia on Sunday, November 15 at 4 pm at St. Mary Church, Norwalk. The concert features the St. Mary’s Schola Cantorum under the direction of David J. Hughes.

The title of the concert is “Gaudeamus! Music for All Saints and for all of us.” General admission is $25, for students and seniors it is $15. All proceeds go to support the St. Mary’s Schola, which performs at the 9:30 solemn traditional Mass every Sunday. A festive wine and cheese reception will follow the concert.

The theme for the concert is Gaudeamus!, after the introit for All Saints’ Day. The Schola will sing several polyphonic works based on this plainchant (including Morales’ Jubilate Deo and selections from Josquin’s Missa Gaudeamus and Victoria’s Mass of the same name). The concert will also feature solos and duets sung by the members of the Schola (from Verdi to Monteverdi!), accompanied by Charles Weaver on lute and David Hughes on organ.
