The Brandywine Singers is celebrating its 17th concert season and its sixth under the direction of Jonathan Kreamer. Since its beginnings in 1993, under the leadership of founder Professor Emerita Lois Williams, the ensemble has presented annual winter and spring concerts of sacred and secular repertoire to audiences in the Delaware Valley. The ensemble made its Philadelphia debut on May 7, 2000 at the Trinity Center for Urban Life.
The group's repertoire includes: Duruflé Requiem; Fauré Requiem; Handel Messiah; Vivaldi Gloria and Beatus Vir; Schubert Mass in G; Brahms Liebeslieder-Walzer; Vaughn Williams Five Mystical Songs; Finzi In Terra Pax and Magnificat; Daniel Pinkham Christmas Cantata; Britten Ceremony of Carols and Hymn to St. Cecilia, Mozart Coronation Mass (K 317), Regina Coeli (K 276), and Requiem (K 626); and the Randall Thompson Alleluia; as well as the Bach Magnificat in D and Orff's Carmina Burana which we presented during our 2008-2009 season.
We are proud to continue a tradition of excellence in our 2009-2010 season with performances of The American Spiritual (Oct 2009), Selections from the Choral Works of Samuel Barber (March 2010) and the Haydn Lord Nelson Mass (April 2010).
