Mosaic World Chorus: Songs of Flowers
Description
This spring, the Mosaic World Chorus, currently a 33-person group of community singers from both Josephine and Jackson counties, will present 'Songs of Flowers,' a program which includes a variety of songs featuring flowers in their many metaphorical contexts: from 13th c. Medieval Italian, 15th c. Ladino/Sephardic, and 18th c. English, to popular songs from the Georgian, Appalachian, Croatian, and Bulgarian regions, to more modern songs from the Ukraine and the USA. These songs sing of flowers representing love, or sometimes heartbreak; flowers representing maidens and fertility; flowers celebrating the beauty of the earth and springtime, flowers as symbols of national pride, and more.
Most people will not recognize the songs in this performance, with perhaps the exception of Will You Go, Lassie, Go? (also known as Wild Mountain Thyme) and Wildflowers by Tom Petty.
Our program includes: Ecco La Primavera, La Rosa Enflorece, Ye Banks and Braes, Arti Vardi, Daisies White, Polegala Trava Detela, Chervona Kalyna, and many more.
The program will last about 75 minutes.
Performances will be on Saturday, 5/9, in Williams at 6:45pm, Saturday, 5/16, in Ashland at 6:45pm, and Sunday, 5/17, in Williams at 4:45pm. See tickets for both locations.
Come celebrate the spring with the Mosaic World Chorus this May!
