Just Gorgeous: Sacred Art and Music in a Secular Milieu
The UM Chamber Choir, directed by Professor Jerry Blackstone, performs stunning sacred works, such as Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei, Herbert Howells’s Requiem, UM Assistant Professor of Composition Kristin Kuster's Home, Felix Mendelssohn’s Hora est, and selected African American spirituals arranged by Moses Hogan. Join us for a pre-concert talk with Professor Blackstone and UMMA Senior Curator Carole McNamara to explore connections between these musical pieces and works of art in the UMMA collections.
