Toledo Symphony "Ode to Joy" Anniversary Chorus Reaches 1,000 Singer Milestone
Toledo, OH (PRWEB) October 17, 2013 -- Last month the Toledo Symphony proudly announced an unprecedented community musical event. ODE TO JOY: A Community’s Celebration of Music will take place April 6, 2014 at the Huntington Arena in Downtown Toledo.
The event, sponsored by Promedica, celebrates 70 Years of the Toledo Symphony and now, more than 1,000 talented voices from across northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.
For 70 years, the Toledo Symphony has served as the heart of our musical community—now, for the first time ever, the symphony has invited choruses from throughout our region to lift their voices in the inspiring “Ode to Joy” from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Toledo Symphony Principal Conductor, Stefan Sanderling, will conduct. Four talented operatic soloists will join the symphony and chorus--Jennifer Cresswell (soprano), Katherine Calcamuggio (mezzo-soporano), Shawn Mathey (tenor) and Sean David Cooper (baritone). All soloists have strong ties to the northwest Ohio community.
The Symphony is pleased to announce that since the original announcement, the Lourdes University Chorus and the choirs from St. Johns, St. Ursula, Ottawa Hills, Toledo School for the Arts and Maumee Valley Country Day School have joined the 70th Anniversary Chorus.
