St. George's Episcopal Church in Maplewood is pleased to host Convoco in concert as a part of their summer tour! The concert, Not One Sparrow is Forgotten, features works by Barber, Pärt, Purcell, Tavener, and more.
Convoco is a project-based, professional choral collective based in Philadelphia. The ensemble’s core of thirteen musicians work in the New York, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. metropolitan areas. They share a passion for small ensemble singing, education, and community engagement. This season, Convoco has focused on works by living composers. This has included several recording projects (stay tuned), concerts, and a continued residency at Drew University, where the choir works with the university’s composition students. Recent seasons have included a tour of the mid-Atlantic region, a residency at the Avaloch Farm Music Institute, and several concerts in the Philadelphia area. Future projects include new works by living composers as well as motets and madrigals from the pre-Baroque. More details about upcoming concerts can be found on our Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook under the handle @convocoensemble.
This is not a ticketed event, however, a freewill offering will be collected. All proceeds from the offering will be split between St. George’s and Convoco, and the proceeds going to St. George’s will benefit the church’s music ministry.
