Choral Society Chamber Singers to Present Midwinter Musicale

Author: Marie McAden

The Hilton Head Choral Society’s elite Chamber Singers will celebrate Valentine’s Day with a concert of romantic music at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 16 at St. Andrew by-the-Sea United Methodist Church.

Midwinter Musicale will feature a medley of Stephen Foster songs, traditional folk tunes and Rodgers and Hart favorites, including “Falling in Love with Love”, “With a Song in My Heart” and “My Funny Valentine”. Tickets are $18.

“It being so close to Valentine’s Day, we’re going heavy on love songs,” said Choral Society Artistic Director Tim Reynolds. “We’re also throwing in some Scottish folk songs and a couple of madrigals.”

In addition, the 20-member ensemble will perform three pieces by renowned American choral composer Randal Stroope: “Prelude to Peace”, “Tournez, Tournez!” and “Omnia Sol” (Let Your Heart Be Staid), a romantic ballad sung in Italian and English.

Selected through auditions from among the Choral Society’s 140 members, the Chamber Singers perform an eclectic repertoire of music from classical compositions to pop. The songs are traditionally performed a cappella or accompanied by one or two instruments.

Tickets for Midwinter Musicale are $18 and may be purchased at the door, at various Hilton Head and Bluffton outlets including Burke’s Pharmacy on Main Street, Paper and Party Plantation in Pineland Station and Truffles Café in Belfair Towne Village, online at www.hiltonheadchoralsociety.org or by phone with a credit card by calling the Choral Society at 843-341-3818.

About Us

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), now entering their third year , has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.

Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, MySpace) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.

CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.
