Harvard-Radcliffe Chorus
America Sings 250
On Saturday, May 9 at 8pm in Sanders Theatre, America Sings 250 presented a trio of recent American compositions that draw inspiration from earlier American compositions and poetry. Alice Parker’s Melodious Accord rethinks tunes from an American hymnal; Stephen Paulus’s An American Medley reimagines a series of American folk songs and hymns; and Daniel Pinkham’s Getting to Heaven sets the poetry of Emily Dickinson. The concert featured the Harvard-Radcliffe Chorus, brass quintet, harp, and a quartet of vocal soloists.
