Grinnell Singers in Concert

The Grinnell Singers are a group of people who are highly diverse in terms of their backgrounds, interests, and talents, but who are united in their love of singing and their dedication to the choral art.  Grinnell College is a private, coed, residential liberal arts and sciences college in Grinnell, Iowa with a student population of around 1750. Three members of Saint George's choir have strong connections to Grinnell Singers and the college. A free will offering will be taken for Nova Friends of Refugees.

The concert features Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw’s To the Hands, a work that offers stunningly beautiful choral harmonies while painting a vision of radical hospitality while acknowledging the difficult realities of the refugee crisis.

New World Recorders

Sarah Shodja

Most stories have a beginning, a middle, and an end. – “Hello, I Love You, Goodbye.” So too, even without words, instrumental music can also be heard as narrative.

In this intriguing concert, the virtuosi of New World Recorders focus on how various musical forms can be structured to create an audible narrative arc.

The Quartet plays music from the 15th to the 20th century by Dufay, Isaac, Locke, Purcell, Marcello, Schumann, Vaughan Williams and more, employing a variety of styles and sizes of recorders. A visual and aural delight for all!
