The Heinz Chapel Choir's spring program, Singing All the Time, is inspired by the reflections of an elderly Englishman who traced the only pleasure in his life to the act of singing. The music embraces a variety of styles and colors, including pieces by Tallis, Pärt, Antognini and Ešenvalds, as well as a piece from the Shapenote tradition accompanied by HCC members Joon Park, violin and Stefan Poost, cello.
If you purchased balcony seats, plan to arrive at the Chapel five minutes before the concert time. The program begins with the Choir singing from the balcony, so people with balcony seats stand in the lobby or along the walls inside the chapel until the Choir departs the balcony (approx. 12–15 minutes into the program).

This is the final dress rehearsal for the annual holiday concerts that begin on November 29. This year’s Heinz Chapel Choir Holiday Concert is titled …called by love and angels. The ensemble will sing music in seven languages by composers including Josquin, Mendelssohn, Vaughan Williams, Ippolitov-Ivanov, and Alfred Burt.
