Indianapolis Symphonic Choir Launches 77th Season
Three words describe the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir’s 77th season: Bold. Versatile. Profound. The scale of Verdi’s operatic Requiem and the poignancy and raw emotion of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem balance against the swanky, cabaret-style Mood Indigo jazz concerts and three Festival of Carols performances, which are full of musical Christmas morsels.
Among the most unique aspects of the 190-member Symphonic Choir’s season is the breadth of repertoire presented to Indiana audiences: jazz to baroque masterworks, Christmas favorites to pillars of classical choral repertoire.
The 2013 to 2014 performance season includes:
• Mood Indigo: 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15, Indiana Landmarks Center
• Verdi’s Requiem: 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 11 -12, Hilbert Circle Theatre (with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra)
• Festival of Carols: 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8, Scottish Rite Cathedral, and 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 22, The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts
• Handel’s Messiah: 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 21, Clowes Memorial Hall (with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra)
• Gala Bel Canto: Rule Britannia | An Evening at the Proms: 6 p.m. Saturday, March 1, The Conrad Indianapolis
• Britten’s War Requiem: 8 p.m. Saturday, May 3, The Palladium
