THE PITTSBURGH
CONCERT CHORALE
ANNOUNCES 2019-
2020 SEASON!
The Pittsburgh Concert Chorale
has announced its 2019-2020 concert
schedule, which celebrates 35 years
of singing.
“The Pittsburgh Concert Chorale
has some big plans in store for our 35th
anniversary season, which begins with
our eighth annual Pittsburgh Sings: The
Pittsburgh Concert Chorale Festival of Choirs
at Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland,” says
Music Director Susan Medley. “Pittsburgh
Sings brings together three high school
choirs from the greater Pittsburgh region
in a celebration of choral music, and this
year the event is offered free of charge to
everyone. In December we will be joined
by the Jazz Conspiracy Swingtet for A
Big Band Christmas, which will offer a
swinging mix of holiday favorites and sing-
alongs. We’re also pleased to present our
third annual Messiah Sing, a free event that
invites audience members to join the PCC
in singing Handel’s beloved masterpiece.
A perennial audience favorite, Orff ’s
Carmina Burana takes center stage for
our spring concerts, including a special
performance at Carnegie Music Hall
in Oakland.
“Our audience members and singers
will choose the music in our May concerts,
35 Years of Favorites. Throughout the year
people are invited to submit their favorites
from past seasons, and those requests will
form the program for our final concerts of
the season. We are so excited to celebrate
our 35th anniversary, and we look forward
to sharing this special season with our
audiences.”
