On Friday night the Easton Choral Arts Society performed its best concert ever. The music was Haydn’s The Creation and featured three outstanding professional soloists and two “choral scholars”. The professionals were first class. Danielle Talamantes, soprano, who performs with the Met understandably has a voice of operatic quality, and it was thrilling to hear her sing. Jason Rylander, tenor, and Kerry Wilkerson, base, were also very strong. The “choral scholars”, Hannah Zerai, soprano, and Michael Pistorio, baritone, were very pleasant additions. It is great to see young musicians given an opportunity to grow.
Under Artistic Director Wes Lockfaw’s baton, the chorus performed as never before. This group has steadily grown to higher and higher levels, and is a major asset to the wonderful array of cultural opportunities available to Talbot County residents.
The Creation will be performed again on Sunday, November 1at 4pm at St. Mark’s Church in Easton. Tickets are available at the door.
