Programme Note
Join the Lea Singers this summer for an exciting programme of choral music from across North America. From the bold, characterful writing of Aaron Copland and the timeless simplicity of Randall Thompson’s much-loved Alleluia, to the shimmering, ethereal soundscapes of Eric Whitacre, this concert celebrates the richness and diversity of the North American choral tradition.
The programme also features works by Samuel Barber, Morten Lauridsen, Amy Beach, Eleanor Daley and Z. Randall Stroope, bringing together a century of stunning choral writing in one summer evening.
Whether you’re a lifelong choral enthusiast or simply looking for a beautiful way to spend a summer’s evening, this is a concert not to be missed.
