Step into a summer evening of unforgettable melodies and rich harmonies for a journey through both sides of the Atlantic. This Summer concert brings together the beauty of English choral music and the golden age of American songwriting.
Enjoy the luminous choral works of John Rutter, Eric Whitacre, Sarah Quartel, and David Del Tredici and be transported to the heart of 20th-century America with classics from the Great American Songbook. Experience the sophisticated swing of Gershwin, the heartfelt ballads of Irving Berlin, the unforgettable melodies of Jerome Kern, the wit and sparkle of Cole Porter, and the soaring tunes of Richard Rodgers. These are the songs that defined an era — timeless standards that continue to captivate audiences with their elegance, emotion, and charm.
Featuring acclaimed jazz vocalist Lindsay Hannon and a live Jazz Trio, with choral forces conducted by Drew Cantrill-Fenwick and Eleanor Cully Boehringer, this concert promises a vibrant mix of soaring choral music and stylish jazz classics.
