Indianapolis Symphonic Choir Launches 77th Season
INDIANAPOLIS – 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 2013-14 performance season includes:
- Mood Indigo: Sunday, Sept. 15, 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., Indiana Landmarks Center
- Verdi’s Requiem: Friday and Saturday, Oct. 11 and 12, both at 8 p.m., Hilbert Circle Theatre (with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra)
- Festival of Carols: Sunday, Dec. 8, 7 p.m., Scottish Rite Cathedral and Sunday, Dec. 22, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts
- Handel’s Messiah: Saturday, Dec. 21, 8 p.m., Clowes Memorial Hall (with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra)
- Gala Bel Canto: Rule Britannia | An Evening at the Proms: Saturday, March 1, 2014, 6 p.m., The Conrad Indianapolis
- Britten’s War Requiem: Saturday, May 3, 2014, 8 p.m., The Palladium
