Rehearsals are underway for our May 1 concert, American Spirit!

This program brings together powerful voices and iconic American works. We are collaborating with the Spirituals Project, directed by M. Roger Holland, to feature The Welcome Table, a spirituals mass, rooted in American history and tradition.

You will also hear:
• Aaron Copland, The Tender Land Suite
• Leonard Bernstein, Slava!
• Florence Price, Adoration
• George Gershwin’s Famous Melodies

Each piece highlights a different side of American music, from reflection to energy to celebration.
