Con Brio Spring Concert

On April 29, 2012, Con Brio,
the Connecticut shoreline’s renowned all-auditioned chorus, will “make a joyful
noise,” as Leonard Bernstein quotes the psalmist in his 1965 Chichester Psalms, the concert’s feature
work. 
Under the direction of Dr. Stephen Bruce, accompanied by Assistant
Director Susan Saltus and full orchestra, Con Brio will make a “joyful noise”
as it celebrates its fifteenth anniversary as a chorus.  The program is rounded out with other “B’s,”
Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and the Beatles, festive pieces by Vivaldi and Handel,
and a number of lighter pieces the chorus will also be performing during its
upcoming concert tour to southern Spain. 
The soloist for the second movement of Bernstein’s Psalms will be twelve-year-old Erik
Olsen, student at the Middle School in Old Saybrook and alto in the boys’
choir of Trinity Church in New Haven. Tickets:  $25, available through www.conbrio.org, by calling 860
526 5399 or from any Con Brio member.
