Share this event:

WordSong celebrates its fourth year with a retrospective concert at St. Paul's Church, Brookline. In 2008, WordSong embarked on a mission to reconnect musicians and audiences by creating a public conversation about intuitive musical understanding. Since then, we have premiered over 30 new works by living composers, and have worked with many of Boston's best performers. Now come hear a selection of these multiple settings of classic and modern poems in a full-length concert format for the very first time! Join our community of listeners and musicians for an unusually "traditional" WordSong concert with a few twists thrown in.

Music by Child, Garfein, Frazin, McDonald, Schnauber, Simon, St. Pierre, and Vores.

Settings of:
Beddoes's "Song"
Blake's "The Tyger"
Blevins Faery's "Laughing Together"
Roethke'S "My Papa's Waltz"

Performed by Kendra Colton, Ilana Davidson, and Sarah Pelletier, sopranos;
Krista River, mezzo-soprano
Shiela Kibbe, Linda Osborn, and Donald St. Pierre, piano.
