The program will feature works</div> <div> by women and men composers, as well as favorite poems by well-known</div> <div> poets male and female. This concert will be both touching and</div> <div> light-hearted, tender and humorous. Repertoire will include pieces by</div> <div> Orlando di Lasso, Johannes Brahms, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Kirke Mechem</div> <div> and Eric Whitacre.</div> <bR> <div> About the concert, Artistic Director Daniel Hughes shares, "This program</div> <div> features repertoire from the Renaissance to contemporary, illustrating</div> <div> the timelessness of love. As I poured through books of poetry in search</div> <div> of the perfect poems by men and women to thread this concert together</div> <div> with the music, I was touched by the sense of eternity of this emotion.</div> <div> Love and its reactions haven't seemed to change much since humankind has</div> <div> been able to express this feeling. Whether the author is male or female,</div> <div> gay or straight, rich or poor, educated or ignorant, this emotion seems</div> <div> to affect everyone in a similar fashion. The vast array of poems on</div> <div> this concert married with the broad range of literature hope to offer a</div> <div> charming view of what it is to love, to be loved or to long for it. A</div> <div> bit a jollity, a touch of levity, some joy, some sorrow and much</div> <div> tenderness present a performance that has something for everyone."</div> <bR> <div> The performances will be held Saturday, March 27, at 8:00pm, at Le Petit</div> <div> Trianon, 72 North Fifth Street, San Jose, and Sunday, March 28, at</div> <div> 4:00pm at the UC Santa Cruz Music Recital Hall, UC Santa Cruz Campus,</div> <div> Meyer Drive.</div> <bR> <div> Tickets are $20 general/$15 students-seniors and are available on </div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.ticketweb.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ticketweb.com"><U><U>www.ticketweb.com</U></U></A><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >.

The 35 voice ensemble rehearses at Lincoln</div> <div> Glen Church in the Willow Glen area of San José.</div> <bR> <div> The Choral Project has performed throughout Northern California in</div> <div> concert performances, interfaith services, and choral festivals. Some of</div> <div> these performances include the honor of being selected as a performing</div> <div> choir at the American Choral Directors Association Western Division</div> <div> Convention in Los Angeles (March 2000), the showcase choir for the</div> <div> National Association of Composers of the USA Composer's Competition</div> <div> (November 2000), and the featured performing ensemble for the California</div> <div> Music Educators Association Conference (January 2001). In June 2001, The</div> <div> Choral Project embarked on its first international tour to Mexico and</div> <div> Costa Rica, reaching a larger audience and connecting with other choral</div> <div> ensembles. In October of 2002, the Choral Project represented the State</div> <div> of California at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. at the State</div> <div> Day Celebration for California.</div> <bR> <div> Committed to a brighter future for our world, the Choral Project makes</div> <div> yearly contribution to charitable organizations, including</div> <div> Toys-for-Tots, Resource Area for Teachers, Aris, Big Brothers/Big</div> <div> Sisters, The Rain Forest Project, and SARDUS (Search and Rescue Dogs of</div> <div> the United States).</div> <bR> <div> You have received this message because you requested notification of</div> <div> upcoming Choral Project concerts and events.
