ABOUT SONG FESTIVAL: THE VOICES OF ENGLAND & FRANCE – 300 YEARS OF VOCAL MUSIC
Join members of the YST Voice Department in this two-part song festival as we explore the unique time periods, societal and language elements which came together to contribute to pivotal flourishings of English and French vocal music.
In Part 1 last semester, we focused on the prolific contributions of Francis Poulenc and Benjamin Britten. This semester, we will travel 300 years earlier and explore the vast repertoire of the French Baroque cantata and the genius of Henry Purcell, featuring the YST Voice majors and guest artist Mark Tucker in collaboration with YST Ensemble-in-Residence Red Dot Baroque, led by Artistic Director Alan Choo.
