This Halloween, choose harmony over haunting – Cayman National Choir & Orchestra in concert Fri Oct 31
From Cayman National Choir & Orchestra
| As dusk falls on October 31, trade trick-or-treating for an evening of elegance and artistry. The Cayman National Choir and Orchestra invite you to Twilight and Silhouettes — a concert celebrating the interplay of light and shadow, mystery and reflection, power and peace. Under the batons of Alina Makhina (Orchestra Director) and Melody Gifford (Choir Director), this evocative program brings together timeless classics and contemporary gems that will stir the imagination. Orchestra highlights include: Silhouette – Kenny G Smooth, soulful, and effortlessly sophisticated — a modern, sophisticated classic. Der Barde – Jean Sibelius A lyrical and poetic work, evoking the spirit of an ancient bard and the beauty of Nordic landscapes. Night on a Bare Mountain – Modest Mussorgsky A thrilling and vivid tone poem depicting a wild witches’ sabbath on a mountaintop. Toccata and Fugue in D Minor – Johann Sebastian Bach A dramatic and iconic masterpiece that captures the grandeur and intensity of the Baroque era. Adagio from Symphony No. 2 – Sergei Rachmaninov A lush and heartfelt movement, rich with sweeping melodies and deep emotion. Choral selections include: Lumen – Abbie Betinis A stunning a cappella canon inspired by a traditional Latin chant. October Sun – Daniel Elder A radiant choral gem evoking the warmth and color of an autumn evening. Inscription of Hope – Randall Stroope (with orchestra) A moving setting of words found on a cellar wall in Nazi Germany — a message of faith and resilience. Dies Irae – Mozart (with orchestra) The powerful and familiar “Day of Wrath” movement from Mozart’s Requiem. Sunrise, Sunset / Sabbath Prayer – arr. Mark Brymer From Fiddler on the Roof, a heartfelt reflection on family, love, and the passage of time. This Little Light of Mine – arr. Robert T. Gibson A lively, jazz-inspired take on the classic gospel favorite. Nothing Gonna Stumble – Greg Gilpin An energetic a cappella spiritual full of rhythm, spirit, and drive. ***** Together, these pieces trace a luminous arc — from shadow to light, introspection to inspiration — inviting listeners to experience the emotional color palette of “twilight” in all its meanings. Whether you are a long-time supporter or new to our community, this promises to be a concert unlike any other — a sophisticated alternative to Halloween festivities and a celebration of music that illuminates the night.
