Voices of Ascension celebrates the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare’s death with a repertoire inspired by the lush, harmonious world of the British Isles and premiere performances from the Sorel Organization’s Medallion award for composition.
Other highlights include Parry's stirring Jerusalem ("And did those feet in ancient times") and his grand anthem Blest Pair of Sirens. Works by Holst will feature the shimmering Ave Maria for women's chorus in 8 parts, and the inspiring hymn "I vow to thee my country" from The Planets. Excerpts from oratorios by Elgar and others will evoke the British Empire at its peak.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
THURSDAY, APRIL 14th @ 8 PM
