Enjoy the sweeping theater and colorful orchestration of Carmen, including the "Chorus of the Cigarette Girls" and the "March of the Toreadors." Lose yourself in the drama of Elijah. You will also hear the Suite Française, an imaginative arrangement for winds and harpsichord by Francis Poulenc, who put a clever 20th century twist on a set of 16th century dances. In its 93rd season, Summit Chorale is New Jersey's oldest active choral group. Music Director Garyth Nair is also Associate Professor of Music at Drew University, where he is Director of Vocal Studies and Conductor of the Drew Chorale and Orchestra.
