As we flip the last page of our 2023 calendars, it's time to burst into the bright and promising horizon of 2024! The Cleveland County Choral Society is revving up for a musical journey that's going to sprinkle stardust on your year. Picture this: the calendar reads May 4th and 5th, 2024, and you're settling into a seat at 7 PM (May 4th) or 3 PM (May 5th), the air tingling with anticipation. On stage, the backdrop is set, the lights are dimmed, and there's a palpable buzz of excitement. This isn't just any concert – it's our concert, a celebration of voices, a chorus of community, and a symphony of souls.
Our maestro, Kenneth Brooks, a name that resonates with passion and expertise, will be wielding the baton, guiding us through an auditory adventure. The repertoire? Oh, it's a smorgasbord of auditory delights! We're talking about classics like Thomas Cousins' "Glorious Everlasting" – a piece that doesn't just fill the room but fills the heart. It's like that first sip of a warm drink on a cold day; it seeps into your soul. Then there's Mack Wilbert's "Bound For the Promised Land." If this song were a painting, it would be a landscape of lush valleys and soaring peaks, a testament to the journey and the destination.
But wait, there's more! The last part of our program is like a box of chocolates from Broadway – you never know what you're going to get, but it's all delicious. Old favorites that hug your heart, new tunes that tap your toes – we've got it all! It's a musical mosaic, a tapestry of tunes that tells a story, your story, our story.
But hey, why just be a spectator when you can be a star? If your heart is thumping with the desire to join this harmonious haven, mark your calendars for February 6th. Aldersgate UMC in Shelby, NC, is the spot, and 6:30 PM is the time. It's more than just an invitation; it's a call to action, a beckoning to be part of something bigger, a chorus that's not just about notes and tunes but about community, connection, and celebration.
You see, joining the Cleveland County Choral Society isn't just about singing; it's about belonging. It's about finding your voice, both literally and metaphorically. It's about the laughter during rehearsals, the shared glances during performances, and the collective sigh of satisfaction after a concert. It's about being part of a family that sings, yes, but also listens – to each other, to the music, and to the heartbeat of the community.
So, as we step into 2024, let's make it a year of melodies and memories. Let's fill it with the sound of voices coming together, creating something beautiful and transcendent. Let's make it a year where every note counts, every voice matters, and every concert is not just an event but an experience. The Cleveland County Choral Society is not just a choir; it's a chorus of dreams, a symphony of spirits, and a harmony of hearts.
And remember, whether you're a shower singer or a seasoned soprano, there's a spot for you here. It's not just about hitting the right notes; it's about hitting the right emotions. It's about passion, joy, and the sheer, unadulterated love of music. So come on, join us on this melodious journey. Sing, listen, enjoy, and be part of something truly spectacular.
Let's make 2024 a year to remember, a year of music, magic, and moments that resonate long after the final note fades. After all, in the words of the great Hans Christian Andersen, "Where words fail, music speaks." Let's speak volumes this year. Let's make it glorious, everlasting, and bound for the promised land of musical delight. Welcome to 2024, welcome to the Cleveland County Choral Society – where every voice counts, every note matters, and every concert is a celebration of life, love, and the unbreakable bond of music.
