plus works reflecting the story of America in music
The year 2026 sees the 250th anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence in 1776, an act which severed the political ties with Britain and created a new nation.
In this concert we focus on the musical history of this new country, and present a selection of choral works from across the centuries that help tell the story of America through song:
from British folk songs that the Pilgrim Fathers and other early adventurers would have known and could well have taken with them to that distant shore across the ocean, up to sacred and
secular choral works by American composers of the modern age, works which have in their turn travelled back across the oceans to Europe and beyond.
