Craig Hella Johnson’s setting of the Annie Lennox piece, 1000 Beautiful Things, was the inspiration for our 2024 spring concerts. Breathtaking music ranging in style from the Renaissance to new works from contemporary composers to classic love songs reminds us “to see the glass as full and not half empty.”

You’ll hear sacred favorites like Handel’s Sing Unto God and the Tallis If Ye Love Me, recent works from Ola Gjeilo and Dan Forrest, and powerful spirituals including Walk Together Children by Anthony Leach and a bring-down-the-house men’s version of It is Well with my Soul. The plaintive sound of the oboe and cello will be interwoven throughout the concert and featured in the moving David’s Lament and the well-known Gabriel’s Oboe.

The Susquehanna Chorale enriches lives through the gift of voices raised in song—of breath transformed intoart—creating beautiful moments that lift us out of the ordinary and fill us with hope and optimism.  Don’t miss this opportunity to experience 1000 Beautiful Things.

The concerts will be preceded by a 15 minute instrumental recital.
