SOUTHERN MARYLAND – In recognition of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this concert season will feature American composers and writers from the 18th century up through living composers today.
We will explore writings from Thomas Jefferson (“The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time”), and Emma Lazarus (“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”). Also represented are composers from the early Revolutionary Era such as William Billings, to present-day Maryland music educator Reuben Burrows.
We will be singing reimagined melodies from Lowell Mason, Paul Simon, and Rodgers and Hammerstein, and singing classic favorites by Samuel Barber and Harry T. Burleigh.
There is something delightful and meaningful for everyone in this program where we celebrate this 250-year American experiment of courage, compassion, hope, and determination. Please join us for our spring concerts, or better yet, sing along with us in our choir!
