Bravo! Northwest Chorale:
The Bravo! Chorale is recognized as one of the premiere civic choral groups in the Pacific Northwest. Our members live throughout the Portland-Vancouver region and include both highly trained amateur and professional musicians. The Chorale has performed many of the major choral music from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, including: Rachmaninov’s Solemn Vespers, Handel’s Messiah, Johannes Brahms’ German Requiem, J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion; the Requiems of Mozart, Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Duruflé and Guiseppe Verdi; Joseph Haydn’s Te Deum and Creation, Beethoven’s Christ on the Mount of Olives and 9th Symphony and Felix Mendelssohn’s St. Paul Oratorio and Elijah to name just a few. The Chorale has performed concerts of Dave Brubeck’s To Hope: A Celebration and Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concert; and is equally at home performing jazz, Broadway, American folk and patriotic songs, American Spirituals and more. The Bravo! Chorale has toured nationally and internationally. The Chorale has toured throughout Croatia with the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra (DSO) and produced a 5-city Pacific Northwest concert tour with the DSO, with concerts in Portland, Vancouver, Olympia, Edmonds and Seattle. The Chorale has performed in Washington D.C. and in New York City at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. The Chorale has released two CD recordings: Hear My Prayer: The American Spiritual, a collection of classic Negro Spirituals and spirituals by contemporary American composers; and a live concert recording of George Frideric Handel’s Messiah: An Oratorio.
