Our 2008 Season
The 2008 concert featured Frostiana by Randall Thompson and music by Mack Wilberg, complemented by a selection of spirituals. Frostiana is a large work based on a collection of well-known poems by the American poet Robert Frost. Thompson was a prolific Twentieth Century American composer who wrote for choral groups, symphony, strings, and opera. His settings capture perfectly the mood and pace of Frost’s The Road Not Taken, Stopping By Woods, and several others. 2008 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the commissioning of Frostiana. Mack Wilberg provides settings of four American folk hymns. Wilberg is currently the Music Director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and has had a long and distinguished career. His arrangements of these four hymns are inspirational in their energy and grandeur. The concert will also feature a piano duet. The concert once again was directed by Valerius Knobloch, and accompanied on piano by Elaine Mann and Judy Lies. Performances took place at 7:00 PM, Saturday April 26th, and at 3:00 PM on Sunday April 27th.
