Saratoga Voices Offers French Choral Connection

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Voices will present an afternoon of 19th and 20th Century French choral masterpieces at Skidmore College’s Zankel Music Center, at 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 13.

The program features guest Artistic Director Dr. Michael Lister, who has designed the program to showcase the powerful works of composers Gabriel Fauré (Pavane and Cantique de Jean Racine), Frances Poulenc (Gloria), and Maurice Duruflé (Requiem).

Lister explains that the three connect in Poulenc’s and Duruflé’s “inspiration toward the new and individualistic that they inherited from Faure, who began to explore new musical tonalscapes in his music of the Romantic Period.”  

Tickets are available online at www.tickets.proctors.org or www.saratogavoices.org and will be sold at the box office on the day of the concert.
