HOLIDAY TRADITIONS AND JUBILATIONS
Friday, December 13 | 7:30pm
Saturday, December 14 | 3pm

The Arrowhead Chorale and Orchestra are delighted to celebrate the profound mystery and joy of the Christmas season with Holiday Traditions and Jubilations: O magnum mysterium. Settings by Tomas Luis de Victoria, Daniel Pinkham, and Morton Lauridsen, each unique in its style and expression, capture the essence of this sacred season, evoking both wonder and elation. The evening also features carol settings by Dan Forrest, John Rutter, Mack Wilberg, and more. We are delighted to be joined by Strikepoint and their director Derek Bromme. Together, we desire to bring an experience that resonates with hope and comfort during this time of year.

Arrowhead Chorale is a non-profit vocal ensemble consisting of just over 50 auditioned singers that bring fine performances of distinctive vocal ensemble literature to the Arrowhead region of Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, and beyond. The Chorale actively develops ambitious and memorable programming for the Twin Ports, and our repertoire spans five centuries of western music traditions.

Past performances

From Spiritual to Spirituals:
Music of Praise and Hope

Featuring guest soprano Hope Koehler (West Virginia University, American Spiritual Ensemble), the Arrowhead Chorale explores sacred music in a variety of expressions from early chant to Mozart’s majestic Coronation Mass K. 319 to Sanctus from Leonard Bernstein’s Mass. The focus will then shift to the American spiritual, a truly unique and powerful genre described as “breathing the prayer and complaint of souls boiling over with the bitterest anguish.”* Ms. Koehler will join the Chorale with solo and collaborative performances of the music of Moses Hogan, Jester Hairston, and others. This promises to be a memorable and moving musical event in our community.

GLORIA! Perhaps no other word has been set more frequently by composers throughout the ages in writing music celebrating the splendor, brightness, and joy of the holiday season. In our December concerts, the Arrowhead Chorale will present new and traditional settings of Gloria, with carol settings old and new featuring works of Mozart, Wilberg, and – the centerpiece of the concert – John Rutter’s breathtaking Gloria.

The Chorale will collaborate with organ, brass, orchestra, and the Strikepoint Handbell Ensemble to fill our new concert home, First Lutheran Church of Duluth, with the glorious sounds of Christmas

Please help us extend a warm congratulations to our new business manager Catherine Grimm! In this position she will be coordinating the singer experience as liaison between the board, the audience, the public, and the choir.

Catherine has been singing with the Arrowhead Chorale since 2017. She started her career as an elementary music educator while singing for three seasons with the Great River Chorale in St. Cloud, MN under the direction of Mary Kay Geston. During her time with Arrowhead Chorale, she has earned her Master’s of Music Education from the University of Minnesota Duluth, and is currently a graduate teaching assistant and Ph.D. student in Music Education at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.

Cathy Martin has loved singing since a child but didn’t realize her dreams to sing with a music ensemble until it became something on her bucket list in her 40’s. Since then, she has sung with her praise band at Grace Lutheran Church in Hermantown, various community ensembles, and the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra Chorus (DSSO). ⠀
⠀
Cathy also enjoys listening to and singing an eclectic taste in music while working in her gardens and traveling the country. She is looking forward to singing with the Arrowhead Chorale and sharing the wonderful fellowship and joy that music brings!⠀

Meet the Chorale! 

Singing has always been a creative outlet for Jane Killough, from performing in church community groups to Carnegie Hall! Killough graduated from Carleton College with a major in biology, studying voice and singing during her time there. She joined Arrowhead Chorale during our first season in 1988 and has sung with us every season since. Killough says she keeps singing because it keeps her sane, so it is no surprise that one of her favorites is “How Can I Keep from Singing?“!
