The Russians are Coming
The University Musical Society’s 2007-2008 season schedule is out, and of particular interest to choral music types is a concert by the Russian Patriarchate Choir, and one by the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge. The Russians are coming on Tuesday, October 30, the British invasion happens on Saturday, April 5.
Rounding out the choral music schedule is a concert by the Tallis Scholars, on Thursday, Dec. 6, and a performance of the St. Matthew Passion, with the Choral Union and the Detroit Symphony conducted by Jerry Blackstone. The St. Matthew will be performed on Friday, Mar. 21. I have always wanted to do the St Matthew and am considering joining the Choral Union just for this concert.
