]]> For the sixth installment of the Concert Orchestra and Chorale series, the choir and orchestra will perform a selection of pieces representing the voices of minorities and disadvantaged groups and exploring those causes that are worth fighting for. The Chamber Choir opens with Užežero ugnys dega, a story about a child being orphaned, followed by the Chorale performing Keep Your Lamps, an African American spiritual. Next, the Concert Orchestra presents the world premiere of Jasmine Pigott’s arrangement of In the Bottoms, a five-movement suite by Nathaniel Dett depicting various scenes of African-American life in the river bottoms of the South. Pigott is then featured as a soloist in a performance of Vaughan Williams’ Tuba Concerto. Also included are two movements of Borodin’s Symphony No. 2, with the first movement portraying a gathering of knights and the last movement calling to mind the festivities of their feast. Rounding out the concert is Stacy Garrop’s The Battle for the Ballot, commemorating the passage of the 19th Amendment, with Monica Pearson narrating lines taken from the speeches and writings of several prominent women suffragists.
