SUMMARY:Soul's Inspiration
DESCRIPTION:“Soul’s Inspiration” is a vibrant celebration of passion\, resilience\, and the power of music to uplift the spirit. The concert opens with Leonard Bernstein’s Overture to Candide\, a dazzling burst of energy and optimism. Lesley Donahue brings tenderness and depth to Massenet’s Meditation from Thaïs\, offering a moment of serene introspection.  The Runestone Chorus (directed by Sam Meehan) ignites the stage with the fiery rhythms of Verdi’s Anvil Chorus\, followed by the stirring Prelude to La Traviata\, evoking themes of love and sacrifice. Soprano Randa Melhem\, Mezzo Soprano\, captivates with her sultry interpretation of Bizet’s Habanera\, infusing the evening with sensual charm. The concert concludes in grand style with Verdi’s Triumphal March from Aida\, featuring the full power of the Runestone Chorus. Soul’s Inspiration is a thrilling journey through operatic and orchestral masterpieces that stir the heart and soul\, leaving audiences moved\, inspired\, and uplifted. \nLeonard Bernstein…………………..Overture to Candide \nJules Massenet……………………….Meditation on “Thais” \nLesley Donahue\, violin \nGiuseppe Verdi………………………..Anvil Chorus from “Il Trovatore” \nRunestone Chorus (Sam Meehan\, director) \nGiuseppe Verdi………………………..Prelude to “La Traviata” \nGeorges Bizet………………………….Habanera from “Carmen” \nRanda Melhem\, Mezzo Soprano \nGiuseppe Verdi………………………..Triumphal March from “Aida” \nRunestone Chorus (Sam Meehan\, director) \nEric Whitacre……………………………Equus
