All Saints Choir Duo Preps For Chorale Concerts
As long-time members of the 70-voice Southern Crescent Chorale,
McVay and Schafer are busy practicing for the March 30th Spivey Hall concert
entitled “Norman Luboff’s Choral Legacy.”
The 3 p.m. concert will include many of Luboff’s most famous
arrangements of folk songs, spirituals and pop music. Concert-goers will hear
such favorites as “All My Trials,” “Whistle While You Work” and “Yellow Bird.”
Later on May 17th at the Villages Amphitheater in Fayetteville, there will be
a Chorale concert entitled “A New York State of Mind.”
“Participating in the Chorale has been a truly exhilarating
experience.” Schafer said. “The director, Janice Folsom is amazing. The music
is varied and challenging and the Chorale members are an extremely friendly,
talented and supportive group.”
McVay and Schafer modestly try to downplay their roles in the
Chorale because of the great depth and breath of talent in the group. But both
McVay and Schafer are talented in their own right, having been involved with
music since elementary school either playing instruments or singing in church
choirs.
Schafer agrees that singing in All Saints choir as well as in
the Chorale is a labor of love. She said, “All Saints is my home away from
home. It is a loving church family of God-fearing people who worship with
enthusiasm and reverence.”
Others might think the two would wear themselves out with all
their singing, but McVay and Schafer aren’t worried about that; they say they
look forward to the next practice either at All Saints or with the Southern
Crescent Chorale..
