Guest Artist Concert
Ysaÿe Barnwell
A community sing is an opportunity for anyone who
wants to sing with other people to come and do just
that. They are conducted in the “oral tradition” so
you don’t have to read music or have any musical
training. We begin in a fun easy way and become
a choir of uncommon voices singing in 4 to 6 part
harmony and raising the roof.
A reflective and provocative program of music from and
about war. Including songs by Schumann, Ives, Poulenc,
Bernstein, and Stephen Foster, and featuring Olivier Messiaen’s poignant and haunting Quartet for the End of Time,
written during his time imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. Funded by the Global Engagements Initiative
Fund.
