Pioneer Valley Cappella, led by music director Geoffrey Hudson, performs its fall 2025 concerts “Love Is Here to Stay” on November 22 at the Edwards Church of Northampton. The concert presents a blend of rare and well-known musical gems. The central work on the program is Emanuel Astorga’s Stabat Mater paired with “Muusika”, a short work by the contemporary Estonian composer Pärt Uusberg. The harmonies are radiant and beguiling. The concert concludes with three beloved songs by George and Ira Gershwin. PVC Chamber chorus is joined by instrumentalists Sarah Briggs, Charlotte Malin Collins, Colleen Jennings, and Karl Knapp.
