Singers of Summerville Announces Their Spring Concert Program and New Artistic Director
Singers of Summerville is pleased to announce that the award-winning choral director Emily Reeves Bohl has joined us as our new Artistic Director and Conductor. We are very excited to have Emily lead us into the future to advance our mission to present the very best sacred and secular music from the past to the present, to bring joy, transform lives and nourish the soul of the greater Summerville community.
“As I pick up the baton of this organization, I must express my gratitude and delight! I am honored to follow in the giant footsteps of my beloved mentor, Dr. Valerie Bullock, and esteemed colleague and friend, Maestro David A. Richardson. Singers of Summerville is a wonderful organization which exists to breathe life, joy, and hope into our greater community on the wings of song. We look forward to seeing you on March 7 or 8, as we Take Flight!”
Emily’s debut with the Singers of Summerville will be our spring concert, “Take Flight.” This eclectic program of choral music spans five centuries and numerous genres, with settings and texts that literally and figuratively evoke the concept of flight. Featured texts include the work of Langston Hughes, Emily Dickinson, Leonara Speyer, and Mark Twain. Enjoy selections from Mozart’s Sparrow Mass, pieces by South Carolina composers Dan Forrest and Jonathan Reid, an Italian madrigal by one of the earliest published female composers, Vittoria Aleotti, and much more. Please join as we take to the sky!
Two performances will be presented:
- Friday evening, March 7th at 7:30pm at Peace Church in Goose Creek
- Saturday afternoon, March 8th at 4:00pm at Bethany United Methodist Church in Summerville
