Summersings - Rutter's "Requiem", tonight 7:30 pm

The lament goes, "there is not enough music in Richmond during the summertime."  A few organizations are trying to change that.  I especially appreciate groups trying to prod ordinary folks to create music, rather than just sitting passively, admiring, critiquing, and worshipping at the altar of professional music institutions.  Summersings! is a great idea.  The Richmond Choral Society presents two opportunities for singers to explore gorgeous chorale masterworks in a low-stress way.  The first Summersings! happens tonight, with a reading of the gorgeous Rutter Requiem.
