Concert Title: “Community and Connection”

In May we celebrate community and connection through the diversity of American folk songs: a selection of Aaron Copland’s Old American Songs, Nathaniel Dett’s Chariot Jubilee, and some of Alice Parker’s compelling arrangements of folk songs and spirituals.
