Thanks for a great concert season!
With the extremely successful Vernon Chorale concert on June 7th, my 2007-2008 concert season has come to a close. Thanks to all of you who attended my performances! Your presence and support truly make what I do possible.
In other news, two opportunities have come my way recently. First, the Vernon Chorale has been asked to perform at the President’s Concert at the 2008 CT ACDA Fall Conference. The conference will take place at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain. We will share the stage with several other choirs, but will be the only community choir in the state to perform. This is a huge honor for the Chorale, and I am glad for the opportunity to publicize the great music we make on a consistent basis.
Second, I have been asked to conduct the 2009 Southern Region Middle School Chorus, which I have gladly accepted. The festival will take place in February 2009 at Naugatuck High School. This will be the first such festival I have directed, though certainly not the first time I have worked with middle school voices. Some of you may remember my time teaching at Lebanon Middle School a few years ago, and I have also had numerous other opportunities to work with young singers. I am looking forward to this honor, and will provide more information here on my website as it becomes available.

Soulful Performance Of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis At Bushnell
By JEFFREY JOHNSON | SPECIAL TO THE COURANT
May 18, 2008
By imagining the opening Kyrie as a “slow introduction” and the Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei that follow as a symphonic conception, conductor Edward Cumming argued during an inspired pre-concert discussion, we could hear Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis as a “sacred symphony.” He claimed that [...]
