TURTLE CREEK CHORALE TO PERFORM IN OKC
The world-renowned Turtle Creek Chorale, under the artistic direction of Dr. Timothy Seelig, will perform in Oklahoma City next month to benefit three Oklahoma Choruses; the OKC Metro-Men's and Women's Choruses and the Council Oak Men's Chorale of Tulsa. The concert will feature performances by each of the three beneficiary choruses, followed by the Turtle Creek Chorale's presentation of music prepared for the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) Convention.
The Dallas based Turtle Creek Chorale is celebrating its 20th Anniversary season this year and boasts a long list of accomplishments including a 1995 EMMY Award for it's performance of
After Goodbye: An AIDS Story which aired nationally on PBS in 1994. The Chorale has produced 20 recordings, making it the most recorded male chorus in history. Several of those recordings have gone on to win national awards, and Requiem was the first Chorale CD to reach the Billboard Classical Charts. The Chorale has also won three "Telly" awards for its video public service announcements. TCC's performance credits include collaborations with The Dallas Symphony Orchestra, The Dallas Opera and The Women's Chorus of Dallas. The Chorale has performed for the Queen of England and former President and Mrs. George Bush. The Chorale made its Carnegie Hall debut in 1993.
All proceeds from next month's OKC performance will go to benefit three Oklahoma choruses. The OKC Metro-Men's Chorus, under the direction of Don Clothier, celebrated their 10th Anniversary in December, 1999. Council Oak Men's Chorale, which hails from Tulsa, was formed in 1997, under the direction of Rick Fortner. The newly formed OKC Metro-Women's Chorus, also under the direction of Don Clothier, is enjoying great success in its debut season.
The OKC performance will take place at 8:00 PM, March 17, 2000 at Village Christian Church, 9401 Ridgeview Dr. In lieu of ticket sales, a "love offering" will be accepted at the door. For more information call (405) 751-1156.
