Distinguished Concerts International New York City (DCINY) has invited Valerie Long and Les Ms. Women’s Choir to participate in a performance of “Magnificat — Music for Women’s Voices” on the DCINY Concert Series in New York City.
This performance is planned for Sunday, March 17, 2019 in Isaac Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall under the baton of Nancy Menk.
Les Ms. Women’s Choir will join with choristers from around the world to form the distinguished Concerts Singers International, a choir of distinction.
Menk will serve as conductor of the performance and clinician for the residency.
“The Les Ms. Women’s Choir received this invitation because of the quality and high level of musicianship demonstrated by the singers,” said Jonathan Griffith, artistic director and principal conductor for DCINY.
“It is quite an honour just to be invited to perform in New York. These wonderful musicians not only represent a high quality of music and education, but they also become ambassadors for the entire community. This is an event of extreme pride for everybody and deserving of the community’s recognition and support.”
The singers will spend five days and four nights in New York City to prepare for their concert. “The singers will spend approximately 9-10 hours in rehearsals over the five-day residency,” said Griffith. “Not all of the time is spent in rehearsals, since there is so much history and culture to see in New York City. However, the performance is the primary purpose for their visit to the city.”
Members of the community are encouraged to give financial support in sending these singers to New York by contacting Valerie Long via email at [email protected].
