A Joyous Sound! (Upper St. Clair)

This December, we expand our holiday tradition with A Joyous Sound! - a musical celebration for the whole family, inspired by and in tribute to the brilliant holiday concerts of Robert Page.  A Grammy award-winning conductor, arranger, and composer, Page’s career included tenures with the Philadelphia and Cleveland Orchestras before coming to Pittsburgh to revitalize the Mendelssohn Choir and lead the music department at Carnegie Mellon University.  His holiday concerts were known for the brilliant mélange he created by mixing classical music of substance with elegant and nostalgic arrangements of beloved holiday classics.

Our Resonance Chamber Orchestra, Festival Chorus, soloists, and special guests from the Pittsburgh Youth Chorus will perform works including Vivaldi’s Concerto for Four Violins, Finzi’s In terra pax, selections from Handel’s Messiah, arrangements by Arthur Harris, and of course Robert Page’s “A Joyous Sound” and his beloved arrangements. Featured soloists include baritone Daniel Teadt, soprano Lara Lynn McGill, and violinists Sandro Leal-Santiesteban, Dawn Posey, Anne Moskal, and Ashley Freeburn.  These concerts will also mark the debut of a professional vocal octet as the core of our Festival Chorus, and the company’s first performance in the South Hills of Pittsburgh.

About Zones:

Starting in 2018-19 all Resonance Works performances are ticketed in four zones: A, B, C, and D.  In venues that lack numbered seats, such as this one, each zone will correspond to a section of seating.  Zone A is the closest to the performers, with Zones B, C, and D progressively further away (and progressively cheaper).  To the best of our abilities, we will ensure that no seats in any zone have obstructed views.  Seating within each zone is general admission.  Your ticket will indicate the zone and that it's general admission.  It will also note a seat number, but this is simply an artifact of our ticketing system, and should be ignored.
