FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


NEW DOMINION CHORALE TO CELEBRATE FAURÉ CENTENNIAL


New Dominion Chorale will close its 33rd season on Sunday, April 28, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. at Saint Luke Catholic Church, 7001 Georgetown Pike in McLean, Virginia.


The featured work will be the Requiem mass by Gabriel Fauré in celebration of the centennial of the composer’s death. Thomas Beveridge, the Chorale’s Founder and Artistic Director, will conduct the 120-voice chorus in a performance that features soloists Helena Colindres, soprano, and Nathaniel Sullivan, baritone, Finalists of the 2023 Washington International Competition for Voice.


Other works on the program will be Purcell’s O Sing Unto the Lord and Mr. Beveridge’s Stabat Mater. Todd Fickley, organist at National Presbyterian Church, and a chamber orchestra will be the featured instrumentalists.


Thomas Beveridge’s Stabat Mater, cantata for soprano solo, chorus, and string quintet, was written in 1988 for the McLean Choral Society. It was hailed by The Washington Post as “brilliant and “deserves to find a place in the standard choral repertory.” Mr. Beveridge’s catalog of 700 original compositions and arrangements are now featured in an archive at George Mason University.


New Dominion Chorale has been recognized as unique among the many choruses in the Washington area, which has been called “the choral capital of the world.” There are no auditions for membership in the chorus, which some have called a “singer’s cooperative,” operating without professional management or office, yet it has performed most of the standard repertoire for large chorus and professional soloists and orchestra, including the premieres of Mr. Beveridge’s works.


Tickets will be available at the door or through www.newdominion.org: $40 general admission, $35 seniors 62+, and $20 students under 18, with open seating in the church sanctuary. There is free parking at this event. For more information, please go to www.newdominion.org or president@newdominion.org, or call 202-244-7191.
