A 29-member chorus from Keene’s partner city of Einbeck, Germany, will provide music for the October 19 worship service at the United Church of Christ in Keene. The chorus, called VOICES, is directed by Annett Steinberg and will share three selections, sung a cappella in German. In translation, they are: “May the paths level out before your feet” by Schwarzer, “There is a longing in our hearts” by Quigley, and “Kyrie-Kanon” by Teichmann. The worship service begins at 10 am at the church, 23 Central Square, Keene. All are welcome.
This visit to Keene is the seventh music exchange between the two partner cities. In addition to the worship service at UCCKeene on October 19, the Einbeck musicians will present an international choral collaboration performance at 5 pm in the Redfern Arts Center Main Theatre at Keene State College.
Other featured choirs will include the Greater Keene Pops Choir, directed by Walt Sayre, and the Chamber Singers of Keene and Keene State College Concert Choir, directed by Morgan Bothwell. The performance will culminate in all choirs singing together, directed by Sandra Howard.
Tickets are free and can be secured in advance of the performance.
