Three Rivers Chorale Returns to the NW Suburbs

The Three Rivers Chorale is coming back for the 2016-17 season! The chorale was formed in 2001 to provide an opportunity in the northwest suburbs for singers to participate in a chorale that would perform beautiful choral music of high caliber. The chorale’s founder and director, Michael Sahlen, is returning as director. Mr. Sahlen is the Minister of Worship & Music at Word of Peace Lutheran Church in Rogers, and Word of Peace hosts this musical outreach to the community.

Previously, the Three Rivers Chorale, together with the Three Rivers Chamber Orchestra, has performed: Requiem, Mass of the Children, Magnificat and Gloria by John Rutter, Chichester Psalms by Leonard Bernstein, and Requiem by Maurice Duruflé. The Chorale has also performed Christmas concerts with both sacred and secular music. Other concerts have included music ranging from Broadway musicals and the rich repertoire of American folk music to the ever-popular Concerto for Singing Chickens.

Rehearsals for the 2016/17 season will be at Word of Peace Lutheran Church on Monday evenings from 7:30-9:00 p.m. beginning September 19, 2016. Two performances are planned for the upcoming season: a Christmas Concert on Friday, December 9th at 7:00 p.m., and a performance of the beautiful Requiem by John Rutter with the Three Rivers Chamber Orchestra on Palm Sunday, April 9 at 4 pm. Both concerts will be held at Word of Peace Lutheran Church, 21705 129th Avenue North, Rogers.

A love of singing and the desire to perform beautiful choral music are the only requirements to join the chorale. All are welcome to join in and experience the joy of creating beauty and making friends!
