The program is sourced from wide and far in geography--pieces sung in English, French, Slovenian, Swedish, Latin, Greek, Spanish, and Sanskrit, as well as in time--16th century to present day (present day meaning last week when the young singers from South Sound Youth Choir collaborated in the composition of an original piece which will debut at the concert). Pianists Jinshil Yi and Amy Boers will be presenting music for four hands. > > sschoiracademy.org > > > > STAY CONNECTED > ‌ ‌ > South Sound Choir Academy | 916 N GRANT AVE, Tacoma, WA 98403 > Unsubscribe moberfield@harbornet.com > Update Profile | About our service provider > Sent by moberfield@harbornet.com in collaboration with > > Try it free today >
