Last season we said a fond
farewell to our interim director,
Edward Schell, who is retiring
from RIT in a few months and
is looking forward to other
challenges. We are all grateful that
he chose to spend these last few
years with GVOC.
This season is an exciting time for all as we welcome
our new, permanent conductor, Christopher Petit.
Originally from Ohio, Chris recently graduated from
Eastman with a Doctor of Musical Arts Degree in
Organ Performance and Literature. Aside from being
GVOC’s new conductor, Chris teaches at Eastman
and is also the Minister of Music at St. Paul’s Church
in Pittsford.
Chris has worked very hard this summer to come
up with three musical programs that you will find
inspiring and, in the case of our dinner concert,
nostalgic. You’re not going to want to miss this
wonderful, musical year so get your season tickets now
since it’s definitely a good buy as you save money over
purchasing individual tickets and lock in the dinner
concert price (we were told the dinner might increase
in price after the first of the year). I know that if I
don’t subscribe to different things, it’s so easy to forget
about going. Treat yourself and subscribe now. You’ll
be glad you did.
We in GVOC look forward to having you join us for
Chris’s inaugural season with us.

If not for the sacred text, one would assume that
the music on this program was written for the Met!
Known mostly as opera composers, Puccini and Bizet,
for example, wrote stunning music for church, and they
did not hold back for the occasion. Come be thrilled
by virtuosic arias and rousing choruses that were
surprisingly written for worship! Music by Rossini,
Bellini, Puccini, Verdi, Mascagni, Bizet, and Massenet.

“Here Comes the Sun:” A Musical Tribute to Daylight
Savings Time. Although we lose an hour of sleep on
the day of our dinner concert, the extra hour of sun
gives us hope for the coming spring. President Franklin
Roosevelt instituted “war time” in the United States in
order to save energy for the demands of World War II.
Come share with us the songs that gave comfort and
hope during World War II, such as “Boogie Woogie
Bugle Boy”, “Sentimental Journey”, and “You’d Be So
Nice To Come Home To” along with more recent tunes
that celebrate the sun, such as the Beatles’ “Here Comes
The Sun”, and Elton John’s “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down
On Me”.
