Come kick off the choral season at W&L with the University Singers, Men’s Glee Club, and Cantatrici. The concert will begin with the Men’s Glee Club, including opening the concert with Peter Schickele’s powerful Jonah’s Song. Cantatrici will follow with several works including James Mulholland’s beautiful Heart, We Will Forgive Him, then the two choirs will join forces for several pieces. The centerpiece of the program will be the University Singer’s performance of Brad Holmes’ arrangement of The Social Harp tune Weeping Mary, done by a triple choir using traditional shape-note singing style. Also featured will be Irish highlights of the upcoming University Singers 2016 tour of the island, including Joseph Flummerfelt’s wonderful arrangement of Danny Boy.
