About The Event
Last year, Pathway Methodist Church began a Bach Concert series with an all-Bach concert. This year we will be continuing with the music of Bach on our concert, but we will feature music from the French composers, Gabriel Faure and Maurice Duruflé. We will be performing Faure's "Cantique de Jean Racine" and Duruflé's "Requiem." The chorus for the concert will be the local Southwest Michigan Chorale assisted by members of Chorllenium.
The Southwest Michigan Chorale is a touring choir comprised of singers from the area including the choir at Pathway Methodist Church in St. Joseph. This group has had tremendously successful choral tours to Ireland (2017), Budapest, Vienna, Prague (2019) and Italy (2022). This summer the chorale will be participating in the Paris Choral Festival in early July with a culminating concert featuring a mass choir of 300 singers including a performance of the Duruflé “Requiem” at La Madeleine Cathedral…
