The choirs will be joined by pianists Rhonda Kwiecien and Anne Farrey. Also accompanying the choirs will be Jazz Ensemble, directed by Pete Lange, a music teacher at Catholic Memorial High School.
“Harvest Home,” explores the ideas of harvest and homeland through music from the Renaissance through the present. Composers have understood harvest not just as the end of the year but as a metaphor for the human condition. The themes of homeland lost, longed for and attained have captivated composers for centuries.
