Saginaw, MI – Saginaw Choral Society will celebrate their return to the concert stage following the Covid shutdown with a holiday concert, Holiday Pops: Saginaw Sings, shared jointly with Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra, on Tuesday, November 30, at 8:00pm in the Temple Theatre.
Executive Director Tamara Grefe and Artistic Director Jeremiah Kraniak issued this joint statement. “After eighteen months of not being able to sing, we wanted to come back to the concert stage in grand celebration. The combined forces of the Choral Society and Saginaw Youth Choir with our sister organization, Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra, and the Saginaw Bay Youth Orchestra in the exquisite Temple Theatre will be grand indeed! We want everyone to come away with the music and the spirit of the season in their hearts!”
The concert also features Saginaw native and special guest, Todd Michael Hall, from the hit NBC TV show, The Voice.
To kick off the season, on Tuesday, October 5, the Choral Society will present Songs in the Gallery: A Season’s Toast at Saginaw Art Museum at 5:30pm.
Jeremiah Kraniak describes the event, “I have been looking for an opportunity to showcase musically some of the wonderful voices in the Choral Society with the art in the Museum’s beautiful galleries. With shared hospitality and a celebratory toast to our return to singing, this is the perfect opportunity! Attendees will be able to stroll through the Museum and hear performances paired with the period or subject of the art. We’ll gather first for a toast, then performances will repeat in the galleries on the hour.”
Tamara Grefe continued, “To say that we are excited to be coming back to singing is an understatement. We can’t wait! Yet, keeping our singers and audience safe is our priority. We have planned a Fall season with that in mind and will announce a winter/spring series in the near future. For that reason, we have decided it best not to offer a subscription ticket series, but rather to promote and sell tickets on an event-by-event basis.”
Reservations for Songs in the Gallery at $30 per attendee are available on the Choral Society website www.saginawchoralsociety.com.
Tickets for Holiday Pops: Saginaw Sings will be available through the Temple Theatre box office during their Friday 10am – 4pm hours or online at www.templetheatre.com beginning September 16.
