On
November 19 at Carnegie Hall, The Collegiate Chorale,
led by Music Director Robert Bass, presented a Gala
Benefit featuring Mendelssohn's Elijah, starring
baritone Bryn Terfel. Other soloists included soprano
Hei-Kyung Hong, mezzo-soprano Nancy Maultsby, and tenor
Eric Cutler. The evening began with a reception in
the Shorin Room, followed by dinner in the Rohatyn
Room and the performance in Stern Auditiorium.
Co-chairs for the event were Maisie and Jamie
Houghton; Anna and William
H. Mann; Ellen and James
Marcus; Elaine and Charles Petschek. The
honoree for the evening was Mrs. Faith Geier.
The black-tie Gala for The Collegiate Chorale supports
its New York Season and education programs for New
York City schools.
The Collegiate Chorale, among New York's foremost
vocal ensembles, has added to the richness of the City's
cultural fabric for more than 65 years. Founded
in 1941 by the legendary conductor Robert Shaw, the
Chorale has achieved national and international prominence
under the leadership of Music Director Robert Bass.
The Chorale has established a preeminent reputation
for its interpretations of the traditional choral repertoire,
vocal works by American composers, and rarely heard
operas-in-concert, as well as commissions and premieres
of new works by today's most exciting creative
artists. In summer 2007, The Chorale performed for
the third consecutive season at Switzerland's
Verbier Music Festival, where Mr. Bass conducted the
ensemble in Orff's Carmina Burana.
