In choral music, the peace of night is often met by the calm of water. We feature three works by Samuel Barber, the mid-twentieth-century giant of American composition. This concert also celebrates works written in the last ten years by several American composers, including Eric Whitacre, Kevin Siegfried, John David Earnest, local composer Greg Bartholomew, and our Composer-in-Residence, Chris Fraley.
