Special to The Oak Ridger
The Oak Ridge Chorus (ORC) joins forces with Roane Choral Society (RCS), guest singers from Knoxtet, Roane State Community College Vocal Ensemble & Concert Choir, guest composer Wil Wright, and guest visual artists Maurice Lowery and Betsy Spooner for a livestream concert: “A Collaboration for Healing,” at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 16.
The three compositions on the program are Karen Marrolli s touching “Undivided”; Morten Lauridsen s revered and beautiful “Lux Aeterna”; and Knoxville composer William Wright s commissioned piece for healing, “Concordia,” led by Choral Director Brenda Luggie. Oak Ridge Symphony Orchestra principals Shelby Shankland and Theodore Kartal, and ORC and RCS accompanists Melony Dodson and Slade Trammell unite the vocal music with the added beauty of flute, cello, piano and organ.
