Here's a great musical event to brighten your holiday season.The Petaluma Chorale, conducted by Dr. Cyril Deaconoff and accompanied by the Thalea String Quartet (Quartet in residence at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music) are set to perform Vivaldi’s Gloria at Petaluma Valley Baptist Church, Sonoma Mountain Parkway, in Petaluma on Tues Nov 29th at 7.30 pm and again on Saturday Dec 3rd at 3 pm.
According to organizers, Gloria is worth coming to hear just by itself —but there's more. Songs from almost every continent and songs that we have all heard, classical, traditional, comedic, simple songs and some stunning in their lyrical beauty, four and five and six part harmonies will also be featured . . . "Music to close your eyes and drift away from the clutter of commuting and commercialism, songs to bring tears to your eyes," says David Freedman of the Petaluma Chorale.
Violins, cellos, oboes . . . home-made cookies and drinks at the intermission. Tickets at the door are $12, Students and Seniors $10, and children 12 and under Free.
