The Adesso Choral Society is a select chamber chorus that places special emphasis on performing new music by living composers.
Founded in 2001 by director
Margaret Collins Stoop, Adesso has performed music of many eras and genres at concerts throughout the Fairfield County, CT area. Programs have included new works from local composers including Allen Brings, Michael La Barre, Robert Baksa,
Evelyn Avoglia and Margaret Collins Stoop, as well as newly arranged folks songs from South Africa, Korea, England, Appalachia, Finland and North Argentina. Seminal works by Kodaly, Mozart, Bach, Thompson and Faure have also been performed.
The concert in Ridgefield on January 24 was a great success! CDs of the concert are available for $5. We are planning now for a concert in early June.
