Summer Music at Grace presents teen music ensemble Village Harmony on Monday, July 1!
The twenty-four brilliant teen singers from eight states plus Bosnia are led by Larry Gordon, Sinead O'Mahoney and Scott Sexton. The concert includes an eclectic mix of traditional songs from South Africa, Ghana, Bosnia, Georgia, Corsica and Galician Spain, American shape-note and gospel songs, and a French baroque psalm setting, Nisi Dominus by Antoine Charpentier. Ensemble members will accompany some songs on fiddles, flute and keyboard. Natalie Brierre, a Village Harmony alumna who has been living in Galicia in northwest Spain for the past three years will lead several Galician songs with dynamic rhythmic accompaniment by a chorus of tambourines.
