Owensboro Singers Performing in Carnegie Hall

Members of the Kentucky Wesleyan Singers and Owensboro Symphony Chorus are performing at Carnegie Hall Saturday at 12 noon CT.  Diane Earle is Director/Accompanist.  They will sing Haydn’s Paukenmesse (“Mass in Time of War”).  The two choruses are combining with members of the Evansville Philharmonic Chorus, University of Evansville and University of Southern Indiana choruses with 128 singers performing. The concert will be accompanied by the New England Symphonic Ensemble.  Dennis Malfatti, Conductor of the Evansville Philharmonic and University of Evansville choruses, will conduct the performance. 

Malfatti and Earle have combined choruses for several productions in the past three years.  Earle has previously performed both solo and chamber music in Carnegie Hall.  She stated, “When this opportunity presented itself, Dennis and I were very excited about combining forces for such an amazing experience.  Carnegie Hall is such a breathtaking place in which to perform.  I can’t wait to see the excitement on the faces of the singers!”

The singers will spend five days in New York City rehearsing and sightseeing and will take a post-concert dinner cruise.  They will also attend a Kentucky Wesleyan College alumni picnic in Central Park and visit  the Empire State Building and other tourist attractions.
