Event

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

With Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, the Park Slope Singers present a program of short pieces which is eclectic and bound to have something for everyone's musical taste. We will sing
four motets the earliest, by Joaquin Despres, written toward the end of the 15th
century; the most recent, by Ola Gjeilo, was written in 1999. We will sing
about women from the music of the Elizabethan John Farmer to songs by The Beach
Boys and Dolly Parton. And added to the mix are a few songs
from the 1960 which inspired our theme including one by the Beatles, a folk tune by the New
Christy Minstrels and a chart-topping number written by Carole King that was
released by the Shirelles. Our assistant music director, Balint Varga, has created the choral arrangements for a few of these.
Over the past few years, the Park Slope Singers have presented
programs that include classical works by Mozart, Handel, Bach, Randall Thompson, Alice Parker and others. Join us as we offer music and song, both light and serious,
that span the centuries.
