SPRING 2008 PRESS RELEASE
CHORAL ARTS SOCIETY INTRODUCES NEW DIRECTOR
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Choral Arts Society is celebrating it's 70th Anniversary Season in 2007-2008, making us the oldest continuously
operating chorus in Westchester County. But, while our history may be old, we are feeling quite new this
season. We have a brilliant, young, new Music Director, Michael Conley, who is making us work very hard
to produce a fresh, new, choral tone. Check out our website, recently updated with a new look, and learn
all about Michael and our new plans. We are so lucky to have found such an able, accomplished and dedicated
leader for progress into the future.
Our Spring 2008 Concert will be Puccini's Messa di Gloria, along with choruses from several Puccini operas, including Le Villi, La Boheme, Madama Butterfly, and Turnadot, with Soprano Soloist, Wendy Baker, Pianist Timothy Havner and conductor, Michael Conley. The concert will be held on May 10th at 8:00 pm at the beautiful Scarborough Presbyterian Church in Briarcliff Manor.
Of his new charges, Michael Conley says, “The CAS is a talented, dedicated and truly fun group of
singers and I am thrilled to be starting out with them in this new and exciting musical partnership.
They already have a long and distinguished history of innovative and unique programming and I am determined
to continue that fine tradition while also drawing on my own interests and experience to bring the best
of the vast choral repertoire – old, new, familiar, under-performed as well as beloved classics –
to the Westchester community.” Michael Conley also conducts Manhattan’s West Village Chorale,
the High School Chorus at the Dalton School, and is the Music Director at Judson Memorial Church on Washington
Square. Along with his work as a conductor he is also active as a pianist, both accompanying and chamber
music, and as a composer.
