Adolphus Hailstork
October 29, 2021
After more than a year-and-a-half of silence, the Sounds of Stow Chorus
and Orchestra is delighted to announce its first concert of the
2021-2022 season on Sunday, November 21 at 2 pm at the Hale Middle School in Stow, MA.
The program, selected by Artistic Director Barbara Jones, consists of
four pieces, all by living composers, and speaks to themes of renewal,
reflection and finally, of exuberant release.

Adolphus Hailstork’s three movement cantata I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes expresses
confidence of help and hope; asks the ageless question of how long
mankind will suffer hardships; then finds an answer through the
consoling text of the 23rd psalm. The work concludes with a
joyful, gospel choir expression of Alleluia! The chorus and orchestra
are joined in this dramatic work by renowned tenor soloist Fred
VanNess.
