Special Fall Concert Event 

​We will premier "SEASONS OF SONG," a new work by artist John Paul Schafer. Join us for our reception after the concert to meet the artist.

“SEASONS OF SONG” Artist’s Statement:

For many years, I’ve been aware of the common terminology shared between musicians and visual artists. Such terms like; key, tone, color, value, composition, movement or rhythm, to name a few. And they suggest the same basic meanings, respectively. Whether notated on a musical staff or whether expressed through paint on canvas, the aim of the expressive artist composing the piece is to achieve a certain tension, harmonic and resolve. Ahead of joining Chorale Midwest at the end of August, I had already been thinking about creating a four-seasons suite of paintings that would employ a set of four custom-built frame panels that I designed to receive mixed-media collage, as well painted canvas centerpieces that correspond with their surrounding collage elements.
