“The choral festival is also offering two programs well out of the ordinary. 'Sacred American Voices' includes Bernstein’s familiar 'Chichester Psalms,' but it is surrounded by works by two contemporary composers, Carol Barnett and Adolphus Hailstork.

July 10–17 (concert on July 16)
Katherine FitzGibbon, conductor
“Sacred American Voices”
Carol Barnett- The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass (English and Latin)
Leonard Bernstein - Chichester Psalms (Hebrew)
Adolphus Hailstork - Break Forth (English)
[Adolphus C. Hailstork is an African American composer and professor who was born on April 17, 1941 and is profiled at AfriClassical.com]
