Under the baton of Tony-winning orchestrator and music director Ted Sperling, MasterVoices kicks off its 2021-2022 season December 6 at Carnegie Hall with the holiday concert A Joyful Noise. The ensemble's first in-person performance since 2020, the concert features Canadian soprano Miaela Bennett, the Northwell Health Nurse Choir, and ten-time Grammy Award-winning a cappella group Take 6, performing works by Adam Guettel, Leonard Bernstein, John Rutter, and more.
Included in the evening's programs are Randall Thompson's Alleluia and selections from Guettel's Myths and Hymns, pieces performed virtually by the ensemble last season.
