American Folk
February 20 @ 8:00 pm
Patrick Dupré Quigley conducts Seraphic Fire in a 75 minute choral program dedicated to American folk traditions. Performed a cappella, the concert features arrangements of well known folk songs including “This Land Is Your Land,” “Simple Gifts,” “Farther Along,” and “My Darlin’ Clementine.”
The program also includes Ingram Marshall’s “Hymnodic Delays,” a work based on 18th century American folk hymns and one of Seraphic Fire’s most frequently performed pieces.
A Pre Concert Conversation will be presented by Dr. Nola Richardson one hour before the performance, offering additional context on the repertoire and its historical background. The concert is designed for audiences of all ages.
