Soprano Sharon Chang will perform songs exploring the progression of life and love. Starting with an innocent, quirky outlook on life, then looking at the emotions of lost and unrequited love, and finishing with an acquired mischievous and bold attitude to what life has to offer.
Tenor Shannon Johnson will perform a selection of songs highlighting man-made relationships. His program begins with an arrangement of the popular folksong How Can I Keep From Singing by Richard Walters, Charles Ives’ setting of the hymn At The River, and Total Eclipse from George Frideric Handel’s oratorio “Samson” as a trio of songs addressing humankind’s relationship with God.
Interpersonal relationships are also examined, as Ivor Gurney’s languid Sleep, Margaret Bonds’ soulful setting of the Langston Hughes poem Minstrel Man, and Benjamin Britten’s realization of Henry Purcell’s I attempt from love’s sickness to fly conclude the program.
