| OHCC LIVING | AUGUST 2025 |25 Summer is going well, and we are all resting our voices for our upcoming concert in December. Rehearsals for the concert are beginning on Thurs., Sept. 11 at 10:15 am until 12 noon in Abravanel Hall. Only six weeks from now and I think the Chorale is anxious to get started. I know I am. Meanwhile, we have scheduled a guest concert for Mon., Sept. 29 at 6:30pm in the Hall. Our artists will be The Rolf Olsen Jazz Quartet. The Rolf Olsen Quartet plays a wide range of jazz and Latin music. Their repertoire includes everything from well-known standards to more obscure jazz compositions as well as modern jazz styles, swing music, the bebop music of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie and the post-bop music of John Coltrane and Miles Davis. So, if you like contemporary jazz, please plan on joining us. Information on purchasing tickets should be coming soon if it has not already happened. If you'd like to see what being in the Chorale is all about, you're welcome to attend our rehearsals. In addition, we appreciate the backstage helpers whose efforts are so valuable to the success of the Chorale. The website for the Choral Society is http://ohchorale.wixsite.com/ohchorale. It is also available on the Ocean Hills Country Club website. Scan the QR code and it will also take you to the website. Written by Jack Shabel Choral Society We hope you were able to come and see the Jim Curry Show! He flooded Abravanel Hall with his dazzling country boy charm. You might say he took us home, to the place where we belong. We were reminded of the power of song to connect and uplift. From Annie's Song to Calypso to Grandma's Feather Bed, we were serenaded on themes of love, nature and nostalgia. The incredible performance, emotional lyrics, and dedication to preserving Denver's legacy made it a night to remember. A fun fact: The rights to the song, Take Me Home Country Road, were purchased by the state of West Virginia (aka Mountain Mama). The state paid $95,000 to use this song for the first year of their tourism campaign. Did you know that you now may advertise for your business in our programs?
