The Santa Clarita Master Chorale (SCMC) has announced a fully-virtual spring concert for their production, “Comforting Classics,” which is scheduled to commence in March.
The full-length digital event is led by SCMC Artistic Director Allan Robert Petker, and is set to feature archive moments from Mozart’s “Regina Caeli,” John Rutter’s “Requiem,” “Requiem for the Living” by Dan Forrest, and highlights from Beethoven’s “Ninth Symphony.”
“We have titled our concert ‘Comforting Classics’ because that is exactly what we will present,” Petker said in a statement Monday. “Some of the most enjoyable moments during this past year have come from finding new ways to keep our chorale family connected.”
Some newly-recorded selections and an interview with Forrest are also set to be featured in the production.

“Music has a fabulous way of bringing a sense of peace and togetherness,” Petker said. “Helping our community stay positive is more important than ever.”
The program is scheduled to commence on Sunday, March 14 at 4 p.m. and can be accessed on their website here.
Established in 1998, the SCMC promotes fine choral music through its yearly concert series, educational enrichment programs and involvement in community-based arts platforms. Under the artistic direction of Petker, the Chorale performs works selected from all periods and has reportedly built a large and loyal fanbase of all ages.
The chorale has also announced a 2021 fundraising campaign to raise $10,000 to help bring fine choral music to the community. For more information on the campaign or to make a donation, visit their webpage here.
