LWC Choir/Louisville Symphony Strings concert magnificent Here's a piece on last night's LWC concert. It was so good it brought me off the couch and out of retirement to write this. Of course, listening to any part of Handel's Messiah--especially when done so well--is emotional and inspiring. And, I can't listen to such a beautiful rendition of Ungar's Ashokan Farewell without envisioning those Civil War boys sloshing through the blood and refuse infested landscape just wishing they could be home. I was glad to be there, but I'm sorry so many people missed the opportunity. By George Kolbenschlag Last night's LWC/Louisville Symphony Strings concert at the Columbia Christian Church was magnificent. The combination of the college's fine concert choir, individual soloists (both voice and instrumental), the representatives of the Louisville Symphony Strings and Lindsey Wilson music professor Bob Reynolds at the piano was wonderfully conceived and directed by Lindsey Wilson's Gerald Chafin, associate professor of music and choral director. The program was outstanding from throughout, starting with an instrumental trio (Symphony Strings members Jack Griffin, violin and Saulo DeAlemedo, cello and Reynolds, piano) playing the haunting Ashokan Farewell from the soundtrack of the PBS series The Civil War and concluding with the choir and guest instrumentalists performing Haydn's The Heavens are Telling from Creation. The program also included several selections from Handel's Messiah including solos by Lindsey Wilson students Christian Talley (trumpet, The Trumpet Shall Sound), Gloria Dawn Moore (soprano, singing Rejoice Greatly, O Daughter of Zion) and Jessica Massengale (alto singing O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings to Zion.) Dr. Reynolds and members from the Symphony Strings joined in three other selections, and the choir performed With a Voice of Singing, written by Martin Shaw and the theme of the concert. The concert was well attended, but it was disappointing to see some empty seats. Those who missed the concert missed a great evening of inspirational music combining instrumental and choral music that is not seen in Adair County often enough. The good news is the concert is an annual event and there is always next year. -George Kolbenschlag, Columbia, KY This story was posted on 2011-05-02 11:54:44
