The Scenic City Chorale is planning “A Grand Night for Singing” Sunday evening at Brainerd United Methodist Church.
The free concert by the 61-voice chorus will feature a lighthearted program of popular Irish and American folk songs, Broadway hits, sacred music and spirituals.
“In keeping with our theme, ‘It’s a Grand Night for Singing,’ we’ll be singing oratorical pieces, such as ‘The Heavens Are Telling’ from Haydn’s Creation; great anthems, like ‘A Mighty Fortress Is Our God;’ and a medley of Broadway hits by Rodgers and Hammerstein,” said director Ron Starnes.
“We’ve got a couple of Irish songs. One of them, ‘Down by the Salley Gardens,’ is for men’s voices that will be accompanied by Irish whistle, played by Nora Kile,” he said.
