A MINUTE WITH THE MAESTRO!
Let the Music Director tell you about this concert!
Using songs to tell folk stories is a great American tradition. Enjoy some of the finest American folk songs along with selections from the Sacred Harp Anthology. We’ll shine the light on the artistry of Moses Hogan and his dazzling Spiritual arrangements – virtuosic and full of energy –incredible display pieces for our great choir. Hogan left an enormous legacy, and you'll hear his best in Elijah Rock, Battle of Jericho and others. We'll rock the rafters at Disney in this electrifying conclusion to a wonderful season!
