MADISON — Harmonium Choral Society will present “I Dreamed Last Night” on Thursday, July 23, at 7:00 p.m. at Grace Community Music, 4 Madison Avenue, Madison.
Directed by Lennie Watts, with music direction by John Fischer, “I Dreamed Last Night” is a one-woman cabaret show starring Gloria Bangiola. The performance features songs and stories about dreams, hopes, wishes, ambitions, fantasies, nightmares, impossibilities, and the American dream that many are still working to make real.
Bangiola is a singer, actress, and songwriter, and a former Harmonium singer whose current cabaret show was recently produced in New York City. The concert is being brought to Morris County in partnership with Grace Community Music as a benefit event.
Tickets cost $30.00 each and include the performance, non-alcoholic beverages, and snacks. Beer and wine will be available for purchase at the event. Tickets may be purchased online at harmonium.org or through Zeffy.
Harmonium Choral Society, directed by Doctor Anne J. Matlack since 1987, is one of New Jersey’s leading choral arts organizations. The one-hundred-voice chorus has been recognized for its musical excellence and innovative programming, and has commissioned more than thirty works by contemporary composers to keep the choral arts vibrant. Harmonium also sponsors musicianship workshops and an outreach chorus that performs in schools, retirement facilities, and other venues. The chorus has toured internationally, including in England, Eastern Europe, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, the Baltic countries, and the Balkans, and, most recently, the south of France earlier this month.
Auditions for Harmonium’s next season, which will include Claudio Monteverdi’s “Vespers of 1610,” will be held at the end of August. For more information, contact [email protected], call (973) 538-6969, or visit harmonium.org.
Funding for the event has been made possible in part by funds from Morris Arts through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
