NORWICH – The Sherburne Community Chorus will present a very special concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the Martin W. Kappel Theater at the Chenango County Council of the Arts in Norwich.
The Chorus will present the very peaceful and gentle “Requiem” by Gabriel Faure; and a new work by Andrew Fowler commissioned for the 300th birthday of Charles Wesley, “Directions for Singing.” The title is taken from the seven aphorisms, all timeless gems of the spirit of hymn singing presented by John Wesley in the Methodist Hymnal.
The narrator’s part of John Wesley will be performed by former drama teacher, Rick Thormahlen, in full dress and wig. He adds a humorous as well as informational aspect of Wesley’s writings.
