Concert

This special concert, part of Handel and Haydn's historic bicentennial season, features Harry Christophers conducting some of his favorite choral selections. This program surveys moving vocal music of the past four centuries, from the glorious counterpoint of Palestrina to the spiritual minimalism of Arvo Pärt, and includes a world premiere by composer Gabriela Lena Frank based on Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem "Boston Hymn."
