Columbus jazz greats featured with Lancaster Chorale

Lancaster Chorale

Southern Theatre 21 East Main Street, Columbus

Sunday, May 7, 2006 4:00 PM



In a true ‘celebration’ of their musical diversity, Lancaster Chorale revisits highlights of their 20 seasons! Opening with ‘Songs of Faith’, Chorale visits liturgical music selections from Byzantium through contemporary, all performed a cappella, and continues in a tribute to spring with special guests, Lancaster-Fairfield Youth Choir.

‘Songs of Love’ features Chorale with jazz legends, Jeanette Williams and Dave Powers, and in a showcase of music from the British Isles, the singers are joined by the fabulous Celtic band, Yankee Celtic Consort!

Concluding the afternoon is the Robert Page creation, ‘Sherman: Forced to War’, with William Tecumseh Sherman portrayed by actor, Mark Mann. This epic work combines narrative taken from the letters of Sherman, with ten of the most remembered songs of the Civil War.

"Everything's Coming Up Roses" tells the history of contemporary feminism through Broadway show tunes, an intentionally odd pairing. The chorus sings and dances through questions about the role of family, marriage, work, bras, reproductive rights, and stereotypes--all the basics of feminism. Don't miss this warm-hearted comedy as the Columbus Women's Chorus performs Broadway the Broad's way!
