Masterworks Chorale to Open Twelfth Concert Season With Selections from LES MISERABLES, THE WIZ, and More
Masterworks Chorale opens its twelfth concert season on September 27, 3:00 pm, at the Centre for the Performing and Visual Arts. Artistic Director Kathy Bizarth has returned to lead these dedicated singers who, with Accompanist David Kinrade, share their talents and skills with our community in schools and churches.
The first concert of the season, known as the Scholarship Concert, traditionally features Masterworks' scholarship recipient.
The concert theme is "Music of Home and Family." All the songs are familiar and beloved for their associations with family, country, community, and faith. The program is divided into three categories:

"Home," by Charlie Smalls, written for the 1975 Broadway musical "The Wiz"
"You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," a traditional jazz number by Cole Porter
"Bring Him Home," by French composer Claude-Michel Schönberg, written for "LES MISERABLES"
"Coming Home to the Country or Place You Love"
"Oh Shenandoah," an American folk song, possibly three hundred years old
