Adolphus Hailstork’s I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes brings a distinct voice shaped by the richness of the African American musical tradition\, while works by Margaret Bonds\, Morten Lauridsen\, and Karen Siegel reveal strikingly different perspectives on the American choral experience. \nFeaturing tenor Roderick George\, the program moves between intimacy and grandeur\, contemplation and celebration\, creating an evening that invites us not simply to hear these voices\, but to experience what they have to say. \nA celebration of American music. A tapestry of voices. One uplifting afternoon.
