Baltimore Choral Arts Society presents a new virtual community singing series titled Masterworks Moments. This series is curated to stay connected and musically engaged with the community, using the joy of choral music to unify and inspire. This is a free and open community series inviting both singers and spectators.
Music Director Anthony Blake Clark and Associate Conductor Leo Wanenchak will rehearse great choral works on Zoom with the general public. They will point out intricacies of different moments in choral music and help illuminate unique challenges of different masterworks. Participants will then sing these masterworks together.
During the session, each participant’s audio will be muted, singing along to the music with the instruction and accompaniment provided by Blake Clark and Leo Wanenchak. There will then be a Q&A session with the two to further discuss the music. Our upcoming series of Masterworks Moments will focus on some of the great Requiem Masses of the repertoire.
