Name Change: Renaissance Choir Sacramento

Dr. Lee Lovallo announces that the Antelope Renaissance Choir, organized last year, has changed its name to Renaissance Choir Sacramento.  Lee explains that the name change will better reflect the composition of the choir, since currently only two of the members are from Antelope.  (He adds that they could use a couple more tenors and basses -- from anywhere -- and who couldn't, especially tenors!)

Also new is the Choir's website at www.renaissancechoirsacramento.com.

The choir's next performance will be a “Choral Evensong with Music by Orlando Gibbons,” which will include the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis from the Short Service, “Almighty and Everlasting God,” and other music by Christopher Gibbons and Thomas Tallis. These performances will be on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 4 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 7850 Watt Ave., Antelope; repeated Sunday, Nov. 4 at 4 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 15th and J Streets, Sacramento.  (Events like this are not listed in the Sacramento Choral Calendar, which does not include performances that are part of a church service.)
