"Vienna Choir Boys give outstanding Cathedral Performance!"
Caller-Times Review




Don't miss the incomparable Vienna Choir Boys, unique charm and exceptionally beautiful singing. From the first visit to the U.S. in 1932, to today, each season a new choir of boys carries on the traditions of Vienna's musical life. Returning to their official "home away from home" - the boy's will again present a new fully-staged and costumed operetta in the resounding space of Corpus Christi Cathedral!

The Yale Whiffenpoofs
World Renowned Collegiate Mens Ensemble

Sunday - February 22
4:00 p.m - Corpus Christi Cathedral

Every year, 14 senior Yale men are selected to be the Whiffenpoofs, the world's oldest and best-known collegiate a cappella group. Founded in 1909, the "Whiffs" began as a senior quartet that met for weekly concerts at Mory's Temple Bar, the famous Yale tavern. Today, the group has become one of Yale's most celebrated and hallowed traditions, carrying on almost a century of musical excellence and professional showmanship at Yale, across America, and around the world. Each Whiffenpoof group maintains a busy performance schedule throughout the year, records an annual album, and circles the globe on concert tours. Prior to their first appearance on our series, they will perform for the President of the United States!

Gilbert & Sullivan's
"HMS Pinafore"


Sunday-March 7, 2004
7:00 p.m - Richardson Auditorium
Tickets Required


HMS Pinafore

Tickets are required for this one and only performance of Gilbert & Sullivan's most popular comic opera HMS Pinafore. The comedy plays as well today as in Victorian days. The parody of "sea music" and "satire" on matters nautical will keep you entertained and calling for more. Opera A La Carte has enjoyed a rapid rise to fame since 1970. Known for the authentic style of its productions, the outstanding caliber of its artists and high production standards, Opera A La Carte is constantly winning new audiences and earning recognition as the foremost Gilbert and Sullivan touring repertory company in the country. .

Savae
Ancient Echoes - What Jesus Might Have Heard

Featuring SAVAE
Sunday - April 18, 2004
4:00 p.m - Corpus Christi Cathedral
No Charge

Have you ever wondered what music in the time of Jesus sounded like? Based on several years of intense study and research, SAVAE has imaginatively and brilliantly reconstructed the music that Jesus might have heard in the temple and synagogue of the first century C.E. The ensemble learned to play reconstructed instruments of the period - varieties of plucked and bowed strings, wind instruments like the shofar, flute and duduk (Middle Eastern clarinet), and percussion. The music has been recreated from Hebrew melodic fragments, Babylonian Jewish music, and traditional songs that have passed down through the ages from the time of Jesus. The end result is an amazing restoration of what Jesus would have heard and now what you will be able to hear in the resounding space of Corpus Christi Cathedral - A concert not to be missed!
