This past weekend the Bach Chorale made a musical leap from Bach to jazz and show tunes. The performance was a lot of fun for the sold out crowd. The Bach Chorale is under the leadership of Georgetown resident and concert pianist Ron Greidanus. Ron is in the centre picture playing the piano while a choir member performs an outstanding version of "Cry Me A River".
The evening features dinner prepared by local resident Yvonne Oldaker and is served by members of the choir. Throughout the dinner various members stop serving and start singing. All of this takes place in a truly unique older home on Main Street South in Georgetown. It is a casual setting with tables set up in 3 different rooms. The audience is encouraged to wander back and forth between rooms to mingle with other attendees and catch various performances.
Dinner itself began with champagne and appetizers. Multiple courses followed including a choice of Coq au Vin or Boeuf a la Julia Child.
Pictured below are desserts from one of two differnt dessert trolleys.
This particular evening was an unusual one with respect to the musical selections. However, the same type of evening happens at Christmas and features music from the group's
classical
repertoire. At Christmas the house itself is sumptuously decorated and is a visual treat all by itself.I would recommend the Bach Chorale to anyone who appreciates classical music and enjoys the gift of live performance.
