Chorale Performs with Lex Phil

9/18/2017

 
This past Saturday, the Lafayette Chorale joined forces with the Asbury University choir and Eastern Kentucky University Choir to be the symphonic chorus for the Lexington Philharmonic’s season opener concert.  The choir performed Ravel’s Second Suite from Daphnis and Chloe. 
 
From the program notes by Daniel Chetel:
“Ravel’s orchestral suites are now staples in the concert repertory and show off the diversity of musical colors available to this early twentieth-century innovator.  The shimmering light of the strings and bubbling rushing water of the woodwinds is joined by a wordless choir that only adds to the splendor of the musical scenery of these final movements from the original ballet.”
 
Read the concert review from the Lexington Herald Leader.

Madrigals Receive Prestigious Invitation

9/18/2017

 
The Lafayette Madrigal Singers have been selected to perform a featured concert for the bi-annual conference for the Southern Division of American Choral Directors Association in February 2018.  To be selected for one of these performance opportunities is one of the highest honors for American choirs.  Lafayette Madrigal Singers were selected as one of six high school choirs and one of only 19 choirs selected from among 90 applicant choirs.  We are one of only four high school choirs in Kentucky to have ever performed at a national or divisional ACDA convention.  We are one of only two Kentucky high schools to have been invited twice.  The Madrigal singers last performed for the Southern Division conference in 2010 in Memphis, TN. 

It is a tremendous honor to be selected to perform in front of this region’s choral professionals.  This is a very selective invitation and was made possible by audition recordings from three previous years’ performances.  We are very proud of this accomplishment and the alumni whose outstanding past work made this invitation possible.  For high school, college and even professional choirs, an ACDA performance is one of the highest honors a choir can receive.  The ACDA Southern Division encompasses the south-eastern part of the country and includes eleven states.

The Madrigal Singers are state, nationally, and internationally recognized. The choir  competes annually in the University of Louisville Chamber Choir Competition and have won first place ten times. The group performed for the Kentucky Music Educators in 2009 and 2015, for the Southern Division ACDA Conference in 2010, and was awarded two silver medals at the World Choir Games in Cincinnati in 2012. The choir won a gold diploma and the mixed youth choir category in the Sing ‘N’ Joy International competition in Louisville in 2014. The choir will perform at the first Music for All National Choir Festival in 2018, and will be a demonstration choir for a conductor’s masterclass with Dr. Joseph Flummerfelt.
