CREDO TO PRESENT
IT’S OUR TIME: SONGS OF FAITH, PROMISE, AND ACCORD
DALLAS – Credo Choir, a Dallas-based adult choir, will present “It’s Our Time: Songs of Faith, Promise, and Accord” on Thursday, May 24, 2018 at 7:30 p.m. at the Moody Performance Hall (2520 Flora Street, Dallas, Texas 75201).
Tickets $20-35 available at TicketDFW.com or by calling (214) 871-5000.
At the center of all choral music is the text we sing. “It’s Our Time” explores ideas and principles we, as Credo Choir and as members of a shared community, respect and aspire to. From Bach’s chorale, “Es ist genug (It is enough)” to Shawn Kirchner’s setting of the Bluegrass tune, “I’ll Be On My Way,” this concert will feature a diverse set of music and a rich depth of concept and meaning. Other featured composers include: Sweet Honey and the Rock founder, Ysaye M. Barnwell, George Frederic Handel, Ken Medema, Felix Mendelssohn, Max Janowski, Stephen Sondheim, a world premiere by Dallas-based composer Debra Scroggins, and more.
Dr. Jonathan Palant, Credo’s founder and conductor, remarks, “This concert isdistinct in that pieces link together without pause. Texts relate to tell our story, but musical genres vary greatly throughout. At the center of this performance is the premiere of “Let Our Voice Be Heard” by Dallas native, Debra Scroggins. Commissioned by Credo, this work is both empowering and inspiring. I’m very proud of this program and know our audiences will enjoy it and be moved by it.”
About Credo
Taking its name from the Latin word meaning ‘I believe,’ CREDO is a community mixed chorus based in Dallas, Texas. Founded and conducted by Dr. Jonathan Palant, Credo’s mission is rooted not only in the power of music, but also in community, learning, equality, and in sharing one’s fortunes with those less fortunate. Credo members come from around the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding areas, and represent a wide variety of faiths, cultures, and socio-economic circumstances. Credo, now in its sixth season, has performed throughout Dallas and has undertaken concert tours to Australia, Cuba, Iceland, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, and this past June sang at Carnegie Hall and Washington’s National Cathedral. This coming June, the ensemble will travel to Vietnam and Cambodia on a twelve-day performance tour. Credo rehearses on the first and third Sunday of each month at Kessler Park United Methodist Church, Dallas.
