“Established routes are pencil-graphed illusions...Joy is found in unforeseen conclusions.”
-Caroline Shaw, THE SIDE ROAD
Over one hundred combined student singers from The Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum, a mixed chorus, and the Radcliffe Choral Society, a treble chorus, present an evening of eclectic and poignant vocal works, including the world première The Side Road by GRAMMY® and Pulitzer prize-winning composer, Caroline Shaw. Drawing upon diverse works from numerous traditions, eras, languages, and contexts, the two choirs each share a musico-poetic journey of the paths and crossroads that lead us to new discoveries, wisdom, inspiration, and solace as one arrives “home.” The groups will present beloved classics by Brahms, Mendelssohn, Britten, and Byrd with works by Margaret Bonds, Elizabeth Alexander, B.E. Boykin, and Craig Hella Johnson, and a world première by Joshua Shank commemorating the 60th anniversary of the death of President John F. Kennedy (AB ‘40).
