‘The Many Shades of Choral’

Santa Barbara Choral Society marked the conclusion of its 77th season with The Many Shades of Choral under veteran director JoAnne Wasserman with accompaniment by Kevin Su Fukagawa at Trinity Lutheran Church.

The entertaining concert featured a wide range of composers beginning with selections from Mozart, including his final work for his hometown Salzburg Cathedral before he left
for Vienna.

On the contemporary end of the timeline, Morten Lauridsen’s shimmering “Sure on the Shining Night,” featured a poem by James Agee. And “Soon Ah Will Be Done,” an arrangement of an African American spiritual by William Dawson.

Great fun…
