A CIRCLE OF PRAISE!
"Artistic Director
James Kreger... conducted wonderful performances."
"Stylistically, this music... was performed with grace, silvery tone
and high impact."
-- The Washington Post
THE THOMAS
CIRCLE SINGERS
The Thomas Circle singers is a
dynamic, forward-moving organization. We not only present some of the
finest choral concerts available in the area, we also provide funding
for critical human need services.
TCS combines superb musical artistry and compassionate
social service, donating all ticket proceeds to non-profit
organizations that serve Washington residents in need. TCS continues to
receive recognition for its musical excellence and its unique service
to the Washington community. Recent awards include Washingtonian
Magazine's "Washingtonian of the Year" in 2000 and artistic
director James Kreger's honor as a WETA-FM Hometown Hero award in 2001.
THE MUSIC
TCS is known
for performing a broad range of repertoire -- from large-scale works of
choral masters like Brahms, Mozart, and Duruflé to
"off-the-beaten-path" pieces and new works by living composers -- all
performed with finesse and exquisite musicality. Each concert promises
to captivate the ear, stimulate the mind, and restore the soul. If you
haven't heard TCS recently, do it this year!
FROM THE
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR:
Welcome
to our 30th anniversary season, an exciting milestone in the life of
the Thomas Circle Singers. Since 1976, TCS has combined superb musical
artistry and compassionate social service, donating all ticket proceeds
to nonprofit organizations that serve Washington residents in need.
Over the years, we have received recognition for our musical excellence
and unique service to the Washington community, including being named
Washingtonian Magazine's "Washingtonian of the Year" in 2000. TCS is
known for performing a broad range of repertoire from large-scale works
of choral masters such as Brahms, Mozart, and Duruflé to "off
the-beaten-path" pieces and new works by living composers - all
performed with finesse and exquisite musicality. This year is no
exception, and we open our subscription season with the world premiere
of Robert Convery's Glory to the Child, a dramatic and lyrical extended
work for chorus and orchestra, commissioned by TCS to celebrate our
30th anniversary year. Each concert this season promises to captivate
the ear, stimulate the mind, and restore the soul. If you haven't heard
TCS recently, please plan to this year! Through our performances and
our work in the community we serve, TCS is truly Transforming the
City through Song.
