Come sing with the chorus that’s been a Newton tradition for 42 years. We’re beginning our rehearsals on Monday, September 11th at 7:00 PM. This winter we’ll perform Dvorak’s Stabat Mater and Mozart’s Vespers de Solennes. Our chorus sings the finest in choral music led by our Music Director Richard Travers; our concerts usually feature guest soloists and orchestra. Our winter concert will be held on January 20, 2024 at Grace Episcopal Church in Newton Corner.
Our auditions are simple–come to a rehearsal on September 11, 18 or 25th and sing with us. After rehearsal (around 8:30), you’ll individually sing a few bars from the music we sang earlier that evening for our Music Director Richard Travers and a few members. If you can match pitch and can follow along, it’s easy. Our rehearsals are held at the Newton Country Day School, 785 Centre St., Newton.

Memorial Concert for Leslie Parnas
2023-09-28 19:00 - 21:00 | The Allen Center, 35 Webster St, WEST NEWTON, MA, 02465, United States
Dear Friends,
We cordially invite you to celebrate and remember our dad, the world-renowned cellist, Leslie Parnas.
Please join us for an evening of music, stories and a short video celebrating the life and career of Leslie on September 28 in Boston, where he lived and taught for 50 years, or on September 30, in New York City, where so many musical connections and life-long friendships were made.
Cicely Parnas, Leslie’s granddaughter, will honor the evening by playing Leslie’s cello in a recital deeply connected to his musical legacy. We are thrilled that Cicely will be joined by the celebrated pianist, Arsentiy Kharitonov. Leslie played his cello every day since 1956, and now it has been beautifully restored and still resonates with Leslie’s voice and unique sound.
We would be honored by your presence at either or both of these events:

Thursday, September 28, 2023, at 7:00 pm, The Allen Center, 35 Webster St., Newton MA
Saturday, September 30, 2023, at 4:00 pm, Rose Studio at CMS (Lincoln Center),165 W. 65th St., (10th floor), New York, NY

Family, significant others, friends, all are welcome!
Gratefully,
Marcel and JP Parnas

Classical Lines
Sunday, October 29, 2023 3pm
Mischa Santora, conductor & Tommy Mesa, cello
Pro Arte opens its season in dramatic fashion with conductor Mischa Santora, Music Director of Boston Ballet, and Cuban-American cellist Tommy Mesa. In Jessie Montgomery’s Divided, which Mesa premiered in 2022, a solo cello gives expressive voice to the unsettled individual living in a conflicted society. Camille Saint-Saëns, by casting his dynamic first cello concerto as a single movement, leads the listener on a seamless journey by turns stormy and refined. The concert concludes with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor, a work well loved for its intense emotional energy.
