You’ll be able to hear favorite tunes from a wide range of movies and operas at two spring concerts given by Los Cantantes del Lago next weekend.
Lakeside’s own professionally directed 65-voice choir performs Saturday, March 20, 7 p.m. and Sunday, March 21, 4 p.m. in the Auditorio de la Ribera del Lago in La Floresta.
The program, directed by Timothy G. Ruff Welch with piano accompaniment by Eleanor Stromberg, reads like a “Who’s Who?” of music of the 20th century.
Audiences are sure to enjoy Jule Styne’s “People” from “Funny Girl,” Scott Joplin’s “We’re Goin’ Around” from “Treemonisha,” Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Three Little Maids from School Are We” from “The Mikado,” Meredith Wilson’s “Lida Rose” from “The Music Man” and Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “The Phantom of the Opera,” among other great songs.
Soloists include Amarantha Santos, Marian Wellman, Patteye Simpson and Jack Wannamaker.
This concert will also feature the talents of dancers from the Ballet Folklorico del Ayntamineto de Chapala. The special choreography is courtesy of Alexis Hoff.
Los Cantantes del Lago is comprised of Mexicans, Canadians, Americans, Brits, Germans and other nationalities, ranging in age from 16 to over 80.
The choir has given concerts in Turkey, Greece, Ecuador, Central Mexico and other Mexican destinations. One of their stated aims is to take great live music to those who may have never heard it before.
Tickets are 200 pesos each and are on sale now through March 19 at the Tickets, Etc. booth at the Lake Chapala Society, from any member of Los Cantantes or from Jan Feise at 766-2691.
A cash bar will be open one hour before curtain.
