The Pitt Choirs Showcase returns with performances from Heinz Chapel Choir, the Men’s Glee Club, and Women’s Choral Ensemble. The three choral groups will present a varied program featuring works from North America, Europe, and Africa and in styles ranging from Palestrina to ABBA.
HCC's spring concert is called Tuneful Turning and explores music set to texts that embrace analogy, inviting listeners to use their imaginations as well as their ears. The central work in the performance is John Corigliano's Fern Hill, a lyrical setting of the well-known Dylan Thomas poem and an unusual challenge for HCC, as it's accompanied by string quartet and harp. All other repertoire, including pieces by Eriks Esenvalds, Daniel Elder, William Billings, Giovanni Palestrina, and C. V. Stanford, are a cappella.
Concert Information for the Spring 2023 Term available now!
