Home of Chorale Bel Canto

I want to cross over into camp-ground, Lord!...

And with these words from Sir Michael Tippett's A Child of Our Time, we conclude our 2008-09 Concert Season. Chorale Bel Canto would like to thank the Pasadena First Methodist Church and Chancel Choir for graciously hosting the Saturday, May 30th concert and we especially thank KUSC's Kimberlea Daggy for presenting her preconcert lecture and by breathing life into the work of Michael Tippett.

As we conclude another season of beautiful singing, we want to especially thank and express our appreciation to all of our our supporters and contributors who have made this year so successful. We especially rejoice in the record-breaking fundraiser that we had in February 2009 at Swiss Park Restaurant. But we are also gratetful for your kind support for our concerts this past season at the Whittier College Memorial Chapel in October 2008, Trinity Lutheran Church in December 2008, and the Shannon Center for the Performing Arts in March 2009.

We hope you have a pleasant summer and we look forward to your return for our 2009-10 Concert Season. Look for new information coming soon on this website and through our newsletters.
