LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Lexington Singers will travel to England this month for a concert with their sister city counterpart, representing a hallmark of cultural exchange between the two communities.
The group, one of the longest continuously performing independent community choirs in America, will perform June 19-27 at King Edward VII Memorial Hall in Newmarket with the Newmarket Community Choir. The concert will be directed by Robert Cross.
Newmarket, England became Lexington’s Sister City in 2003, with both cities recognizing their shared connection to thoroughbred horse racing. The performance exemplifies the Sister Cities program’s emphasis on cultural and educational exchanges.
“This is a good example of the cultural exchanges that are one of the hallmarks of our Sister Cities program,” said Kay Sargent, executive director of the Lexington Sister Cities program.
The choir will begin its European tour with a performance at the historic Church of Saint-Sulpice, the second largest church in Paris. The group will present the European debut of a new masterwork by acclaimed American composer Elaine Hagenberg, whose compositions have been performed by universities, community choirs, schools, and church choirs throughout the United States and abroad.
The tour will include 108 participants, making it a significant cultural delegation. Dr. Jefferson Johnson, music director of The Lexington Singers, said the group is “very excited to be representing Lexington, the state of Kentucky, and our country in the cities of Newmarket, London and Paris.”
