Spring Concerts 2022
with Warwick Valley Chorale
Americana

The Warwick Valley Chorale will offer two performances of its 81st annual Spring
concerts. Led by interim conductor Dennis English and accompanied by Gail Johnson, this season’s repertoire will include a program of American music, ranging from the early 19th Century to Broadway hits to music from Dr. Gwyneth Walker.

Dr. Walker, an internationally esteemed, award-winning American composer, will be in the Chorale’s audience this month to hear her own new music performed. She has been an important friend and musical colleague of the Warwick Valley Chorale for more than a decade, and dedicated her brilliant, touching song, “The Wings of a Dove,” to the memory of the Chorale’s longtime conductor Stanley Curtis following his tragic death from COVID in 2020. This will be the fifth concert in which Dr. Walker’s music figures prominently, including her arrangement of the group’s signature piece, “Down to the River to Pray,” which the Chorale commissioned from her in 2015.
