ISing Choir and the Westside Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Stephen Galván, presents A Little Night Music, a celebration of the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.  The concert opens with an exuberant double choir piece “Venite populi,” (Come, O people, come) and is followed by Vesparae solennes de confessore, K.339 (Solemn Vespers), a six movement work that carries the listener through a range of emotional settings; exalted righteousness, strong spiciness, playful joyousness, brooding darkness, melancholic longing and delighted exuberance.  The 5th movement “Laudate Dominum,” “worthy of the finest melodist that has graced our world,” features one of Mozart’s most exquisite and soaring vocal solos for soprano.  The Westside Chamber Orchestra will play the 1^st movement of Eine kleine Nachtmusik after a presentation of the state-of-the-art, world-class multidisciplinary performing arts center, the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts.  The concert will conclude with “Dark Night of the Soul” by Ola Gjeilo, Mozart’s “Ave verum corpus” and “Magnificat” by James Whitbourne.

Works of art by leading Northwest artist, Laura M. Kemp, along with architectural renderings of the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts will be on display in the gallery at St. Matthew Lutheran Church before the concert and during intermission.

This once-in-a-generation project will be the first performing arts center of its kind to be built in the Portland-metro area in more than 30 years.
