Hits ... In Their Own Time! - Spring 2022
After a gap of more than two years (thank you Covid!), Chromatica, the popular Danville chorus will showcase hits across the centuries in their May 7 2022 concert. The concert will be at 7 pm at Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church, 433 Moraga Rd in Orinda. Vaccination certificates and masks will be required.
What do Mozart, Brahms, Bernstein, Paul Simon, Harold Arlen, Victor Young and Lili Boulanger all have in common? They all wrote pieces that were huge hits in their time. From Brahms' German Requiem with its lovely “Wie Lieblich…” to Paul Simon's “Bridge over Troubled Water”, their music attracted large audiences and created special memories. Chromatica's May 7 concert remembers these and a number of other pieces in unusual and expressive arrangements.
Chromatica returns to its normal concert schedule of May and November performances this year. The May 7 concert is a reprise of the program originally planned for April 2020. November performances will celebrate Chromatica's tenth anniversary with a special program.
