Bel Canto celebrates Spring as a season of hope and renewal with songs of peace, belonging, encouragement, joy, and inspiration.
With music for choir, piano, and strings, we will explore these themes in selections ranging from JS Bach and Mendelssohn, to contemporary composers Runestad, Szymko, Whitacre, and Gjeilo, as well as traditional African American spirituals.
Selections will include, among others, Bach Motet VI "Lobet den Herrn", Szymko "All Works of Love", Gjeilo "The Ground", Parker "Sometimes I Feel", and Runestad "Your Soul is Song".
