AUTUMN HARVEST |
OCTOBER 23 |
|
We open the season with Autumn Harvest, a concert of beautiful romantic and modern choral works for guitar, piano, and chorus. The program will include works inspired by the "En Plein Air" or "outdoor" style of painting, with poetry about autumn and the outdoors. The concert will feature several Washington premieres by emerging composers, as well as secular partsongs by Brahms and Mendelssohn, and a performance of Jeffrey Van's hauntingly beautiful work for guitar and chorus, A Procession Winding Around Me, a setting of four Civil War poems by Walt Whitman. The program will also include Estonian composer Veljo Tormis's late-20th-century a cappella masterpiece Autumn Landscapes.
