On Saturday, July 14, enjoy a debut concert by Spero Chamber Chorale, a new, Springfield-based choral ensemble founded as an outlet for local music teachers and professional singers. According to Dr. Abby Musgrove, the Chorale’s founder and conductor, spero is the Latin word for hope, and the choir’s mission is to bring hope and joy to the community through choral song. Saturday’s one-hour performance will feature choral gems and favorites from all eras and styles, including “Ave Verum Corpus” by Mozart, “Ubi Caritas” by Maurice Durufle and “Sing Me to Heaven” by Daniel Gawthrop.
