We'll reflect on home and country and your heart will be touched by the power of organ, brass, and the 97 voices of the Greeley Chorale!

Oh, and don't forget our incredible silent auction featuring unique services presented by Chorale members themselves as well as items you just won't want to do without--baseball tickets, cheesecakes, and handmade items.

A Spring Awakening
Sunday, April 15, 2012, 4:00 p.m.
First Congregational Church, 2101 16th Street, Greeley
Spring is a season of renewal and remembrance. The Chorale recognizes both in this concert, featuring Gabriel Faure's beautiful Requiem. This piece was written in remembrance of his father and offers words of healing and hope. If you also need some "reawakening," we'll definitely do that with the brand new pipe organ at First Congregational! Our amazing accompanist, Alice Crawford, will put those pipes to good use, not only accompanying the Chorale but with a couple of organ solos as well. Don't miss out on this opportunity for more amazing music presented by "everyday people"---The Greeley Chorale.
The Greeley Chorale. Everyday People. Amazing Music.
