Season Album 2024-2025

Once, as I Remember
December 7 & 8, 2024
The Gift to Sing
March 23, 2025
Mozart Requiem & Coronation Mass
June 8, 2025

Our December 2024 concert, Once, as I Remember, followed the form of the Festival of Lessons and Carols presented annually by the King’s College choir in Cambridge, England, but with poetry readings in place of the traditional scripture lessons. The Spring concert, The Gift to Sing, on March 23, 2025 featured a newly commissioned setting from composer Jonathan Woody of “The Gift to Sing” by James Weldon Johnson.

We ended the season singing Mozart’s Requiem and Coronation Mass for a large and appreciative audience. The performance featured a large orchestra and four talented soloists, two of whom have a Kent Singers family connection: Bass soloist Dylan Armstrong’s mother, Sue Ellen Armstrong, sings in our alto section, and his wife, Sarah Armstrong, was our soprano soloist! (The other soloists were Megan Roth, mezzo-soprano, and Matthew Newhouse, tenor.)
