Three Choirs Festival
Sunday, 3/14/2010 4:30 PM-6:30 PM
All Saints Church, 10 Irving Street, Worcester, MA
- $10/$12/reserved seating $25
Three major New England-region choirs together sing a program of rare range and power. The All Saints Choirs and Alumni; The Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys, Cathedral of All Saints, Albany NY; the Choir of St Paul's Church, Fairfield CT. Renowned organist and guest conductor, Dr. Gerre Hancock, leads 110 voices--half of them treble sopranos--in performance of his own work; Peter Stoltzfus Berton will premiere a festival composition in celebration of the 175th Anniversary of All Saints Church. Forsaken of Man, the great Passiontide work for symphonic organ and choir by the lavishly talented Leo Sowerby, will complete the concert. Program: I was glad, C. H. H. Parry; Sanctuary Doves, Peter S. Berton; Judge eternal, Gerre Hancock; Organ Improvisation by Gerre Hancock; Forsaken of Man, Leo Sowerby.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Worcester Cultural Commission, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency; and by Sacred Music Series at All Saints; The Leo Sowerby Foundation; Music & the Arts at All Saints; All Saints Choirs; and the 175th Anniversary Committee of All Saints Church.
Since 2003, the All Saints Choirs, comprising the Choir of Men and Boys, the St. Cecilia Choir for Girls, and Adult Choristers, have enjoyed extraordinary revitalization under the direction of Peter Stoltzfus Berton. Singing services, concerts and recordings, alone and with the altos, tenors and basses of adult choirs from both the church and community, more than 35 boy and girl choristers master a repertoire from many periods and choral traditions. The demanding rehearsal, service and performance schedule, averaging 3.5 hours a week for nearly 40 weeks a year, testifies to the Choirs' dedication to excellence. Outreach and collaboration in the Worcester area, and their summer 2008 Tour of England brought them to the highest levels of international performance and to an ever-widening audience. Some of the children and adults also sing locally in Worcester's many musical theater productions.
Located in Albany, New York, the Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys is the oldest Episcopal cathedral choir in America. It was established soon after the cathedral was founded in 1872. The current choir of 15 boys and 13 men, had been reduced to just three boys by 2005, but has made a resurgence under musical director Woodrow Bynum. The Choir of Men and Boys is well known for its musical excellence, touring throughout the eastern United States and England performing concerts with several choruses and orchestras in the Northeast; it has also released a number of CDs. Their annual Advent and Christmas choral services fill the Albany Cathedral to capacity.
The Saint Paul's Choir (Fairfield, Connecticut), John Abdenour Director, is the parish's reinterpretation of the Anglican centuries-old choral tradition of choirs of boys and men singing daily services for nearly a thousand years. The 45 voice choir consisting of treble boys and girls sings with an ensemble of skilled adult altos, tenors, and basses. Since 1996, the choir has enjoyed an artistic relationship with the noted British choirmaster Barry Rose, and this year will be the 14th year they have participated with him in an American Three Choirs Festival at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. In 2007, the choir sang services at St. Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, New York; Durham Cathedral, England; and St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh, Scotland. The boys and girls also performed at Carnegie Hall, in Mahler's Eighth Symphony, and received critical acclaim appearing as street urchins in Yale Opera's production of La Boheme.
Festival Guest Conductor and Organ Improvisor Dr. Gerre Hancock is Organist and Master of Choristers, Emeritus of Saint Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, New York City, where for over thirty years (1971-2004) he established a new standard for the performance of Anglican church music in America with the world-famous Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys. He is an acclaimed master of the art of organ improvisation and will provide as part of the Three Choirs Festival and example of this art, weaving together themes from the music being performed by the choirs. The improvisation (and accompaniments for the choral music) are played on the Rice Memorial Organ, Worcester's largest instrument at 7,292 pipes of all types ranging from thunder to a whisper.

When the All Saints Choirs performed alongside English cathedral choirs at the Three Choirs Festival 2008, in Worcester, England, a spirit of comradeship and competition led All Saints to higher levels of performance, deeper musicality and decidedly delighted audiences. Echoing the name and format of that world-famous festival of nearly three centuries standing, our Three Choirs Festival promises similar spirited response. We are bringing together choirs who perform within a tradition of repertoire for which the expectation of the original composer was that children (then boys, now boys and girls) sing the soprano parts alongside adult Altos,Tenors and Basses. Training for this classic, intergenerational blend of the pure clarity of the children's treble with the strength and depth of adult voices is still found in only a small number of major church choirs in the USA. The All Saints Choirs 2008 Tour of England convinced director Peter S. Berton that a great way to sustain these groups so devoted to this art is to celebrate it with other singers, and the more the merrier.
These three choirs have traveled to visit one another; sung together; coordinated repertoire; alternated directors as conductors. But although each has performed with one of the others, they have never all three performed together. A Festival, of great music that all must newly master for a single in-concert performance would guarantee a challenge and the excitement of meeting it. The 175th anniversary of All Saints Church offered a chance to unite these choirs to honor an event that merited such celebration. Worcester, a city with many adult and children's choruses and choirs, is a city that treasures choral singingwhat better place to present such a performance? Holding the festival in late afternoon during daylight hours, ensures audience of ages from youth to senior citizens, can readily attend. And now the 2010 Three Choirs Festival is happening!
Each of the three participating choirs has a history of weekly church service singing and public performance, and membership in all of them is open to those from all religious traditions; most of the singers at the Three Choirs Festival are volunteers. Each choir draws from a local urban center and surrounding suburban communities, and through teamwork and training blends the diverse ages, racial, economic and cultural backgrounds of the singers into groups with near-professional standards of performance.
