Hear a thrilling mix of world harmony traditions at concert of World Music performed by Northern Harmony, a unique world music choir based in Vermont. Transcending the traditional definition of choral music, Northern Harmony is renowned for its command of varied world ethnic singing styles. In a concert sponsored by the Folklore Society of Greater Washington, twelve young singers led by founder Larry Gordon will perform South African songs and dances, traditional polyphony from Georgia, Corsica, and the Balkans, American shape-note singing and quartet gospel, and medieval motets.
