"Lead Me Home -A Celebration of the American Choral Landscape"
Lenard Chamber Music Series
The Grammy®-nominated British vocal ensemble presents Lead Me Home, a program that journeys through the rich and varied landscape of American choral music, tracing a path through faith, folk-tradition, poetry, and popular song. The program moves from the timeless devotion of Virgil Thompson's "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need" and the spiritual "My Lord What a Morning" to the visionary sound-worlds of Caroline Shaw, Morten Lauridsen and Eric Whitacre. Alongside these sacred and contemplative works sit songs of beauty, longing, and place: Samuel Barber's shimmering "To Be Sung on the Water," and the timeless folk melody "Shenandoah." The program closes with affectionate musical portraits of two iconic cities in "April in Paris" and "I Get a Kick Out of New York."
