Village Harmony Concert at York Street Meeting House

Past event
May 26, 2019, 7 to 9 PM

Transcending the traditional definition of choral music, this Village Harmony Alumni Group is particularly renowned for its command of varied world ethnic singing styles, from the hearty and ultra-bright Bulgarian "hard voice" to the equally powerful, but darker and more sonorous Georgian timbre, from the rich, mellifluous South African style or the wild and unrestrained American shape-note sound to a delicate, pure, early music timbre. The program features 14th century motets, 17th century madrigals, songs and dances from South Africa, contemporary American shape-note and gospel songs, traditional songs from Corsica, Bosnia, Croatia and Bulgaria, and original compositions by Adam Simon, one of the group. Admission by donation-suggested $5 - $15
