Rehearsals have begun for Easton’s Allegro Academy Summer Community Chorus, under the direction of Amy Morgan, who has brought together more than 60 singers and musicians from the Easton/Delmarva area. The group will present the famous and much loved Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria on Friday, July 27, 2018 at 7 p.m. The performance is free and will take place at Trinity Cathedral, 315 Goldsborough Street, Easton, MD. The chorus will be joined by a professional orchestra and soloists Caitlyn Crowley, soprano, Katie Cox, soprano, and Patty Rubin, mezzo-soprano.
The Gloria will be conducted by the Allegro Academy’s Artistic Director, Amy Morgan. Mrs. Morgan is an accomplished musician whose education includes a Bachelors degree in Piano Performance from Salisbury University and Masters in Choral Conducting from Messiah College. Mrs. Morgan founded the Allegro Academy in 2017 and has served as the music director at Trinity Cathedral since 2014.
Several participants commented that they thought this was a wonderful idea to “bring together the community and meet new people.” Anyone who wanted to sing was welcomed. One participant said she “loves to sing and was excited about being able to sing in such a large choir without having to audition.” Mrs. Morgan hopes that the Allegro Academy summer community chorus will become a regular event.
The programs of the Allegro Academy are funded in part by the Talbot County and Maryland State Arts Councils. For more information about this program or the Allegro Academy, call 410-603-8361, or visit www.allegroacademyeaston.com.
