The Beaver Valley Choral Society is going virtual once again this spring–and they’re looking to bring the house down.

Sharon Burchill, who is the Artistic Director and Principal Conductor for the BVCS, joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County to discuss “God Of Our Fathers”, the project that will bring dozens of musicians together virtually to create an ensemble recording of the Daniel C. Roberts-penned song.

Burchill explained the spiritual draw to choosing this piece for the BVCS to perform, from the recovery undertones in lieu of the current state of living in 2021, to the concurrence of using a piece initially written for the United States centennial, now being used to acknowledge the Choral Society’s own 100th Anniversary.

“God Of Our Fathers” is still a work in progress, however, and Burchill acknowledged that the BVCS is still looking for musicians to participate in the virtual ensemble as either a singer or instrumentalist. Full details on participation protocol and fees can be found by clicking here. Deadline to submit material is May 10, and the project will be released Memorial Day Weekend.
