Wagner College Choir Send-Off Concert

OFF CAMPUS: TRINITY LUTH. CH., 309 ST. PAULS AVE., STATEN ISLAND. In preparation for a ten-day concert tour of Costa Rica, Wagner College Choir and Alumni join in a lively and varied concert celebrating the choir’s heritage, traditional and contemporary American music, and gems from many nations and cultures. The repertoire presented represents a mosaic of musical life in New York that the choir is eager to share with its audiences in Costa Rica. The program includes sacred works by Pachelbel, Virgil Thomson, Stephen Paulus, Ivo Antognini, Ola Gjeilo, Nicolai Kedrov, and Barbara Wesby, as well as American folk hyms arranged by Shawn Kirchner and Roger Wesby. Daniel Elders’ nocturne, Ballade to the Moon, Javier Busto’s charming Sagastipean, and John Lennon’s Rain are among the secular works. In addition, the program segment “Our Folk Music” includes a work by Stephen Foster, an Afro-Peruvian landó and a Costa Rican song. A Zimbabwean spiritual, and two Africa American spirituals close the program. Stretto vocal ensemble will perform two of TAKE 6’s arrangements.
