Oak City Voices present “Songs in Due Season”

This evocative choral concert will blend many musical styles around the central theme of the four seasons — all of which we are lucky to experience in North Carolina! From Sting’s “Fields of Gold” to lyrics from Robert Louis Stevenson’s “A Child’s Garden of Verses,” each selection elicits thoughtful and pleasant emotions — some about the unfoldment and yearning of each season, some about sorrow, and some just plain delight! Audience members will enjoy composers from Barry Manilow to the lyrics of Emily Dickinson and the opportunity to hear “Grow” by Sarah Quartel, a popular and celebrated young choral composer.

The concert will be conducted by Oak City Voices Artistic Director Russell McKinney with piano accompaniment by Martha Bass Abernathy. Natalie Elrod will be featured on cello for several selections.

Tickets are available here or at the door. General seating. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.
