We are delighted to share our plans for the Litchfield County Choral Union’s 126th Season.
Dr Gabriel Löfvall has been appointed as the LCCU’s Music Director as a permanent position and will lead the Union in its annual concert at 4:00pm on Sunday July 27th, 2025 in the Music Shed on the Battell Stoeckel Estate in Norfolk Ct. The concert will include the entire Missa in Angustiis (Lord Nelson Mass) by Franz-Joseph Haydn. Widely regarded as Haydn’s finest liturgical work, this glorious piece will be balanced against several contemporary choral works focusing on the theme of peace. Works by Sarah Quartel and Gwyneth Walker will be included. The concert will be accompanied by a fully professional chamber orchestra.
Interested singers are invited to get in touch by submitting the below form or via emmail to [email protected].
Rehearsals will commence on Monday May 19th. Rehearsals will occur each Monday evening from 7:00pm to 9:30pm in the Recital Room of Battell House on the Ellen Battell Stoeckel Estate in Norfolk – the venue and Main Office of the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival. There will be no rehearsal on Monday May 26th (Memorial Day).
LCCU dues are $50.00 per year, discounted to $45.00 for multiple members of the same household. Dues are waived for all high school and undergraduate level students. Scholarships are available for college students and others in need; please do not hesitate to reach out to our Registrar with enquiries Music acquisition costs are expected to be low but are not yet determined. Music will be provided at no cost to fees-waived and scholarship students.
