The Choral Society of Pensacola opens its season with a program of jazz from both sides of the Atlantic. The concert begins at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 6 in theSanders Beach-Corinne Jones Resources Center, 913 South I Street. Artistic director Peter Steenblik shares the details.
The program showcases music by two British composers — George Shearing’s Songs and Sonnets and Bob Chilcott’s A Little Jazz Mass — and also features some jazz from the USA –songs by Strayhorn, Arlen/Mercer, and Dennis/Adair. Our 100-voice chorus, conducted by artistic director Peter Steenblik, will perform with the acclaimed Guffman Trio, who’ll shine in a set of their own.
Join them for a free preview of the concert on Zoom on Sunday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. It will include a 30-minute presentation illustrated with musical excerpts, followed by a 10-minute Q&A session.
