A Musical Potpourri
March 23 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
The music folks at St. Paul’s United Church in Perth are hosting the Kingston Choral Society Chamber Choir in “A Musical Potpourri” concert which will take place on Sunday March 23 at 2:00 p.m.
The KCS Chamber Choir is a 20-voice ensemble made up of singers from within the larger Kingston Choral Society choir. This group was formed to bring Kingston audiences the chance to hear works best suited to smaller ensembles, from early music to more contemporary songs. The KCS Chamber Choir performs primarily a cappella works, but also sings with the KCS’s excellent Collaborative Pianist Clare Marion. In 2024 the ensemble placed second in the province in the Kiwanis Music Festival.
The choir’s director is Ian Juby, who has been a fixture in the Kingston music scene for many years as a high school and St. Lawrence College music teacher, performer and Music Director with Kinsmen and Thousand Islands Playhouse musicals, and is currently the Artistic Director of the Kingston Capital Men’s Choir.
The KCS Chamber Choir will be joined by the St. Paul’s United Church Senior Choir for performances of two lovely choral works: “How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings” from the Brahms Requiem and a movement from “Requiem for the Living” by Forrest.
St. Paul’s minister Don McLean, who is also a member of the Kingston Symphony, will add a beautiful cello line to one of the KCS Chamber Choir’s pieces.
Also on the program will be “High Octane” a barbershop octet made up of six singers from the St. Pauls’ choir along with a couple of musical friends.
To round out “A Musical Potpourri”, St. Paul’s Director of Music Brad Mills will contribute a piece or two on the church’s magnificent pipe/digital hybrid organ.
St. Paul’s Community Hub is located at 25 Gore Street West in Perth.
There are no tickets, but a suggested freewill donation at the door of $20 would be appreciated.
