Men’s vocal ensemble Voci Virili will be in concert Sunday evening, Nov. 13, at Signal Crest United Methodist, their third in a series of “hugely successful concerts” at the Signal Mountain church, says church music director Allan Ledford.
The show’s theme is “From the Sanctuary to the Stage,” which Ledford describes as an evening of inspiring sacred choral selections and beautiful and uplifting songs from Broadway.
“Two years ago, the ensemble’s first ‘From the Sanctuary to the Stage’ concert was extremely well received, as the men shared selections from sacred male choral and solo repertoire, followed by popular ensemble and solo pieces from the Broadway stage,” Ledford says in a news release.
“Last year’s ‘From Bach to Bing’ concert featured Christmas music from both sacred and secular works and was again very well received.
“The men are back, once again sharing their beautiful voices in a concert featuring popular choral and solo works from the world of sacred music followed by beloved songs from the Broadway stage,” he says.
Voci Virili, which translates to “manly voice,” includes some of the best classically trained soloists and choral singers from the region. They are under the direction of Harv Wileman.
