HEAVEN AND EARTH
October 8, 2022
On October 8, 2022, Cleveland Chamber Choir and BlueWater Chamber Orchestra joined forces in their long-awaited collaborative concert Heaven and Earth. Originally scheduled for May 2020, but canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, both organizations opened their respective seasons with this concert. Drawing on their ability to present master choral works for chamber orchestra and chorus, the two groups performed under the direction of both Gregory Ristow, Associate Professor of Conducting and Director of Vocal Ensembles at Oberlin College & Conservatory, and Daniel Meyer, Artistic Director of BlueWater Chamber Orchestra. This concert featured Ludwig van Beethoven’s Mass in C Major, Op. 86 and American composer Gwyneth Walker’s emotionally intense The Golden Harp, featuring Ideastream Public Media’s John Mills as narrator.
