Musical Pairs: Music of Europe and America

CONCORA'S™s 2014 Summer Festival Choir brings guest conductor Dr. Pamela J. Perry to the podium to prepare and present a concert of six musical pairs from Europe and America.

The Saturday concert on July 26th will be the culmination of CONCORA™s 16th annual Summer Festival, which begins on Sunday, July 20 with a full week of rehearsals, interspersed with several social events. We are grateful to our concert sponsor, The Marjorie Moore Charitable Foundation, for their support of our CONCORA Scholars.

The program features J.S. Bach's Komm, Jesu Komm (BWV 229); Verleih uns Frieden by Feliz Mendelssohn and Im Wald by his sister Fanny; a pair of poems by Emily Dickenson, set by Dan Campolieta; and the Sanctus from Leornard Bernstein's Mass.
