You are invited to a free informal and relaxed pre-concert conversation with Larimer Chorale Artistic Director, Mike Krueger!
This lunchtime chat will offer prospective audience members special insight into the composers and music being performed on the Chorale’s upcoming concerts.
Fun conversation will be had, and attendees may hear a few ‘inside stories’ about the music, rehearsals and Mike’s preparations for the concert. Informational materials will be available along with live and recorded music examples. (Bring a brown bag lunch, if you like!)
Bach's Magnificat and Other Songs of the Soul

Bach's Magnificat is a delightful and spirited masterwork with text from the Gospel of Luke. After learning that she will give birth to the Son of God, Mary visits her cousin Elisabeth, who says, "Blessed is the fruit of your womb!" and Mary answers, "My soul magnifies the Lord (Magnificat anima mea Dominum) and my spirit rejoices in God my savior."
Bach's Magnificat is one of the great choral/orchestral works of our time, and a thrill for both audiences and singers. The second half of the concert will play on the word "anima" from the Magnificat, meaning "soul". Selections - both sacred and secular - that connect to "soul" will be performed.
