Shakespeare for All Seasons

The Heritage Chorale, led by Maurice Boyer, opens its 27th regular season on November 19 and 20, 2011, with concerts celebrating an icon of our literary heritage: William Shakespeare.

Come and sample the food of love prepared by 20th- and 21st-century composers, including Ralph Vaughan Williams, Stephen Chatman, Sven-Eric Johanson, György Orbán, and Chicago’s own Michael Wolniakowski, the latest composer to receive a commission from Heritage Chorale.  Jack Hickey of Oak Park Festival Theatre is guest narrator.

Brittan: St. Nicholas

The final pair of concerts, on April 14 and 15, 2012, are centered on another iconic figure: St. Nicolas. Forget the jolly yuletide visitor—Benjamin Britten’s rarely performed cantata tells the life story of a godly servant, a saint for all seasons. Heritage Chorale is joined by musicians from Pro Musica Youth Chorus and Concordia University Chicago in these concerts featuring Christopher Cock as tenor soloist.
