Help keep the Schola sound reaching a new generation of choral music lovers!
There's a Meetin' Here Tonight!
Schola Cantorum of Texas opens the 2009-2010 season at 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon, October 25, with a stirring concert of traditional hymns and spirituals called “There’s a Meetin’ Here Tonight!” at Arborlawn United Methodist Church, 5001 Briarhaven Rd., Fort Worth.
The concert will be repeated the following Sunday, Nov. 1, at the Granbury First United Methodist Church, Granbury, Texas.
Our rehearsals have been spirited, and our singers are especially excited about this concert. And why not? This program is a little different than people have grown accustomed to hearing Schola perform.
Some even think of us as only a “classical music” choir, but we actually present a wide variety of choral styles.
We know that of all the many forms of sacred music, none stirs the heart more than these wonderful songs of faith and hope.
This lineup includes a selection of the best traditional and contemporary arrangers and composers of the genre, including:
We are making a special group rate offer to church choirs, so be certain to order your tickets now, before you leave our Website. Of course, you can always call the Schola Office at 817-927-2114 for more information.
