It's not freezing cold! It's actually tempting to get out of the house! Time to go see some choral concerts!
First off, my vocal quartet Anthology will be performing in the Taylor House concert series tomorrow (Friday) at 7:30 pm. The concert will last about an hour, and will be followed by a scrumptious reception. There is a suggested donation of $10 at the door. We will be performing
mostly jazz for this concert. Taylor House B&B is located at 50 Burroughs St. in Jamaica Plain. This is a great venue, and we are excited to be performing in this well-known concert series.
Friday:
Anthology will be performing at 7:30 pm at Taylor House. (I figure by repeating myself I will get more people to come. Indefatigable logic!)
The Boston Secession will be presenting their popular annual concert series, "(Un)Lucky in Love." Under the direction of Jane Ring Frank, they will present an alternative Valentine concert. This will be at 8:00 pm at First Church Congregational, 11 Garden St., Cambridge. This concert will be repeated on Saturday.
The BU Choral Ensembles, under the direction of Timothy Westerhaus, will be performing Honegger's Le Roi David. This will be at the CFA Concert Hall, 855 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, and it is FREE. Note that it starts at 7:30 pm.
Saturday:
Possibly the biggest event of the weekend is the 30th Annual Thomas A. Dorsey Gospel Jubilee at NEC's Jordan Hall. The festivities start Saturday night at 7:30 pm, and continue on Sunday at 3:00 pm. The Saturday concert features Jerome Kyles and the Sanctuary Chorale of Morning Star Baptist Church in Mattapan, Linda Brown-San Martin and the Eastern Mass Gospel Choir, the NEC Youth Gospel Choir, with the Belmont Hill School B-Flats, under the direction of Evelyn Lee-Jones, and the NEC Community and Millennium Gospel Choirs, under the direction of James A. Early, NEC gospel music chair Donnell L. Patterson, and Jonathan Singleton. This is a major annual event, and tickets are only $5, so check it out!

Sunday:
Syncopation, a brilliant vocal jazz quartet, is coming to the South Shore to perform. I've started a concert series at my church, First Parish Cohasset, this year, and Syncopation is this month's star guests. The concert will be Sunday at 4 pm at 23 North Main St., Cohasset, and if you are anywhere in the area, I strongly recommend you check them out - the Boston Globe has been giving them stellar reviews, and it's pretty darn cool that I got them onto my series. If you like the Manhattan Transfer, you will love this group.

Also this weekend, in the opera category, the Boston Opera Collaborative is presenting Handel's opera Alcina. It will be on Thursday (tonight!), Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 3:00 pm. It is only being shown this weekend, so make sure you check it out! (I'm a new member of the BOC, and will be ushering for Saturday, so if you come Saturday, be sure to say hello!)
