Shaker Harmony: Celebrating 250 Years of the Shakers in America
Shaker Harmony: Celebrating 250 Years of the Shakers in America
In partnership with choral composer Kevin Siegfried, the St. John’s choral music program is proud to present Shaker Harmony: Celebrating 250 Years of the Shakers in America. Siegfried is well-known as an interpreter of Shaker music, and this program will bring the audience into this rich and vibrant American musical tradition in its many forms.
Featuring the St. John's Parish Choir, Chamber Choir, and the students of our Choir School program, this concert seeks to bring audience members on a journey, following in the footsteps of the Shakers as we perform selections from their extensive musical catalog to highlight universal themes of Humility, Love, Simplicity, Kindness, Liberty, and more.
Concertgoers will delight in the diversity of emotion and storytelling, allowing the music to wash over, and at times course through them as they join in the singing. Join us in celebrating the vitality of this beautiful and powerful American musical tradition.
