Travelers Choral Club at The Bushnell
The Courant’s Cal section on Thursdays usually has several programs that attract us, and we decided we could actually get to all three we had in mind for this weekend. Today we went to the spring concert of the Traveler’s Choral Club. We’d never heard of this group before, but we’ve always enjoyed choral music, especially seeing as that’s how Bob and I met. The concert was in Mortensen Hall at The Bushnell, and was free! We sat in the left section of the orchestra, about 10-12 rows from the front. It was very well attended.
The theme was Waltzing Into Spring and they performed Rutter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Brahms, Randall Thompson, and Aaron Copland, among others. There were about 70 singers, with parts pretty well balanced. We enjoyed the pieces but once again came to appreciate the precision and discipline instilled in us by Doc Soule in college, which were missing tonight. A nice touch was the dancers who did some graceful walzing around the stage during the singing of Brahms’ "Liebeslieder Walzer."
