Not only are we celebrating the choral works of Ms. Sandresky, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to share a piece she wrote for solo voice! Soprano Bonnie Blackwell will sing Margaret Sandresky's setting of "My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord," a joyful text of praise drawn from Mary's song in the Gospel of Luke, with Mary Louise Kapp Peeples at the organ.

Bonnie sang her way into the Moravian faith as a choral scholar in the choir loft at Home Moravian Church while earning her Bachelor of Music at UNCSA. After a Master of Music at the University of Alabama, she found her way back to Winston-Salem, where she now works for the Moravian Music Foundation and sings with the Moramus Chorale. It's wonderful to have her home!

We are thrilled that mezzo-soprano Dr. Cristy Lynn Brown will give a pre-concert lecture at 6:00 pm. For her doctoral dissertation, Dr. Brown compiled a thematic catalogue of Margaret Sandresky's vocal works, providing her with unparalleled knowledge of this music.

Dr. Brown has sung with opera companies and orchestras across the country, including Piedmont Opera. She is a former Associate Director of the School of Music at Salem College and is now Instructional Coordinator for Fine Arts at Forsyth Tech.

Come early to hear about this fascinating music and enrich your listening experience.

Meet Our Collaborative Keyboardist: Mary Louise Kapp Peeples

Moramus wouldn't be able to give the concerts it gives without the time and talent of our collaborative keyboardist, Mary Louise Kapp Peeples! The daughter of a Moravian minister, she began organ study at age twelve and took her first church post that same year. She later studied privately in Paris with the legendary Marie-Claire Alain, and today serves as organist at Calvary Moravian Church.
In addition to collaborating with the Chorale on the anthems for this concert, we get to hear her perform the prelude and postlude. She will also lead the audience and the Chorale in three hymns, starting with introductions arranged by Ms. Sandresky!

Our concert takes its name from one of the many pieces you are going to hear. Commissioned by the MMF, “Let Us Rejoice” was written by Ms. Sandresky in the spring of 1992. This October we are honoring her 105th birthday with an evening of her choral music. Come rejoice with us on October 17!
