Spring Concert
...A Touch of Europe

Friday, May 9, 2008, 8:00 pm, Whitaker Center, Harrisburg
Saturday, May 10, 2008, 8:00 pm, Gravel Hill United Methodist Church, Palmyra

You can experience the music we will perform during our European tour without even crossing the Atlantic.  The concert will bring together the rich musical heritage of European and U.S. culture.

Selections by European composers include Ehre sei dir, Christe by Heinrich Schütz, Schaffe in mir, Gott by Johannes Brahms, and a choral arrangement of Nimrod by Edward Elgar. American compositions include When Jesus Wept by William Billings from the Colonial era and At the Round Earth’s Imagined Corners by contemporary composer Williametta Spencer. German and American folks songs as well as early American hymns and spirituals also will be on the program.
