Randolph Singers Spring Concert at Chandler May 3

Sunday, May 3, 2026 - 4:00pm to 5:30pm05/03/2026 8:00pm Randolph Singers Spring Concert at Chandler May 3 Don't miss a truly special afternoon of music as the Randolph Singers welcome spring with "Songs of Nature" — a concert celebrating the natural world through centuries of choral tradition. The highlight of the program is the choral world premiere of 'Three Nature Songs,' a new work by Vermont composer and Singers director Christopher McWilliams, setting poems by William Blake, Emily Dickinson, and Francis Gupta to music. This alone makes Sunday's performance a moment worth witnessing. The program spans the full sweep of choral repertoire: from Brahms' wistfully haunting Rosmarin, in which a maiden picks rosemary in remembrance of her beloved, to Benjamin Britten's hushed and transporting Evening Primrose, which traces the brief, spectacular life of that delicate bloom. John Rutter breathes fresh life into the beloved hymn For the Beauty of the Earth, while the beloved For Good from Wicked and a rollicking arrangement of Watch the Flowers Grow — originally by The Four Seasons, reimagined by McWilliams himself — round out an eclectic and joyful afternoon. As has become a beloved tradition, the Chandler Children's Chorale joins the Singers for several numbers, bringing youthful energy and heart to the stage. Rounding out the ensemble are local musicians Greg Hance on drums, David Cron on guitars, and Denise Rickert on flute. Admission if free, with donations accepted and appreciated.
