Aurora Chamber Singers present Fauré, Franck

The Aurora Chamber Singers will present its spring concert, “Seeds of Modernism,” at the College Street Congregational Church, 265 College St., in Burlington, on Saturday, May 11, at 7:30 p.m.

The program of late Romantic European music by Gabriel Fauré, Charles Gounod, César Franck and Anton Bruckner features the voices of the Aurora Chamber Singers, soloists and organ, under the leadership of conductor David Neiweem.

The selections are perfectly suited for the acoustics of the church where it will be performed, built at roughly the same time as the music was conceived.

Aurora is a group of experienced choral artists formed in spring 2018 to continue the mission of the Oriana Singers upon founder William Metcalfe. Aurora’s choral repertoire spans ages and cultures, including choral masterworks, contemporary music and thematic programs.

Neiweem has been involved in choral music since his earliest years in Chicago. He has been a member of countless ensembles and enjoyed a lengthy career as a baritone soloist. He was professor of music and chair of the music program at the University of Vermont until 2023.
