Benefit Concert

Sunday, September 22, 2024 at 4:00 PM

First Presbyterian Church, Rocky Mount

___________________

Celebrating the beginning of our 10th season, the concert will feature the choir, several vocal soloists from the choir, ECU trumpet professor Gabriel DiMartino, trumpeter Dr. Dan Crocker, and organist Virginia Vance. We are grateful to our friends who have made gifts to RMCC since our founding. It is our hope that this benefit concert will offer a convenient opportunity for our audience members to make a gift that will help us continue to offer concerts free of charge. Due to dangerous weather conditions on the afternoon of last year's Christmas concert, the decision was made to cancel the performance. This benefit concert will allow us to recoup some of the costs associated with that cancellation.

Fall Concert

First Presbyterian Church, Rocky Mount

Haydn's "Achieved Is the Glorious Work" will open the program, followed by sacred selections in anticipation of All Saints Day, including Dan Forrest's "No Night There" and Parker/Shaw's "Saints Bound for Heaven." We'll close the first half of the concert with a couple of prayers, including an arrangement of "Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying." Three selections on the second half of the program are focused on the joy of singing, as in Norwegian composer Kim Arnesen's "Flight Song" - "All we are, we have found in song..." The women of the choir are featured in a folk song from Malaysia, while the men have fun with a Neapolitan art song. Shawn Kirchner's wonderful "I'll Be On My Way" closes the concert.
