FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW DOMINION CHORALE PERFORMS GERSHWIN

New Dominion Chorale concludes its 34th season with Broadway and Operetta on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. at the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center, 4915 East Campus Drive, Alexandria, Virginia.

The program will be directed by the Chorale’s Founder and Artistic Director Thomas Beveridge and will feature pianists Thomas Pandolfi and Frank Conlon and vocal soloists soprano Tracy Olivera and baritone Bob McDonald.

Mr. Beveridge has chosen favorites from among his hundreds of arrangements of music by Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and George Gershwin. Of particular note are Mr. Pandolfi’s medley of Gershwin tunes and his internationally acclaimed performances of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Miss Olivera and Mr. McDonald, noted for their renditions of Broadway songs as a team, will perform from their repertoire.

The concert will conclude with excerpts from Johann Strauss, Jr.’s operetta, Die Fledermaus.

New Dominion Chorale has been noted for several unique features, in particular the fact that it is a singers’ cooperative, operating without paid management, and that no auditions are required to join. It has been praised in The Washington Post for its performances of much of the classical repertoire and has given premieres of Mr. Beveridge’s works, notably his world renowned Yizkor Requiem. The Washington Post’s music critic has hailed it as “opulent, precise and powerful.”

Tickets will be available at the door or through www.newdominion.org: $40 general admission, $35 seniors (62+), $20 youth (12-18) and free for children under 12. There is free parking at this event. For more information, please go to www.newdominion.org, or email president@newdominion.org, or call 202-244-7191.
