The online box office is open for Heaven and Earth, a choral concert with a wonderful selection of sacred and secular pieces, including some stunningly beautiful settings of psalms and poetry about the natural world.
One highlight of the concert will honor Alice Parker, a world-renowned champion of choral singing who was born in Boston and spent most of her life in New England. The Parker pieces will include some of her most famous spiritual arrangements, as well as “An American Kedusha,” a setting taken from the Jewish Sabbath morning liturgy.
Another local connection is Dominick Argento’s “Walden Pond,” a song cycle using texts by Henry David Thoreau, accompanied by the unusual instrumentation of three cellos and harp. In a set of songs about waterways, we’ll feature “The Negro Speaks of Rivers,” a rarely heard piece by the Black composer Margaret Bonds, as well as the beautiful folk tunes “Loch Lomond” and “Shenandoah.”
Guest performers will be Cantor Vera Broekhuysen, soprano and Cantor David Wolff, tenor. The concert will be held at Fuller Middle School, 31 Flagg Drive in Framingham with plentiful free parking and easy access to a lovely auditorium.
