The Syracuse Chorale is proud to present John Rutter's Gloria in our December 2026 concert, with brass accompaniment and soloists from the ensemble. The Rutter Gloria is a beloved choral work with numerous international performances, and its lyricism and rhythmic energy make it a favorite of singers and audiences. We'll pair this with the lesser-known Pinkham Christmas Cantata, also for brass and chorus. This work recalls Renaissance and Medieval tropes of form, while using expressive 20th-century harmonies. The concert also features short works by Dan Forrest, Rosephanye Powell, Stephen Paulus, and Sarah Quartel, rounding out a concert of all contemporary composers.
