Bach's St. Mathew Passion
Rockbridge Choral Society with the W&L Chamber Singers

Our major work for the spring will be one of the great masterpieces of choral literature, Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, which the Choral Society, with (double) orchestra and soloists, will perform with the Washington and Lee University Chamber Singers on Saturday, March 17, 2007 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 18, 2007 at 3 p.m. in the concert hall of the new Wilson Center at Washington and Lee University.   Because of the scope and demands of this magnificent work, it does not receive frequent (enough) performance.  Don’t miss the wonderful opportunity to share a live performance of what many consider to be J. S. Bach’s finest creation.

 I hope you will make plans to share these wonderful programs with us, and I ask you to watch carefully for announcements of other RCS (and RYC) activities during the year. 

The Rockbridge Choral Society welcomes new members!  If you (or someone you know) might enjoy singing with us, we invite you to join us.  Rehearsals are on Monday evenings in duPont Hall (Washington and Lee University) from 7:30 to 9:00.    We are into our practice season, but it may not be too late for you to join with us now.  If you might be interested in singing the Bach Passion, we will be devoting some fall rehearsals to that work.  To pursue singing, or for more information, please call Virginia Lloyd-Davies (261-1919).
