To celebrate the 1990 elections,
the Athenaeum hosts an
evening of music from a variety of
American traditions. Folk songs
that reflect 19th-century life in the
Southriver songs and African-
American spirituals and music
from the settling of the West will be
performed by the 85-voice Concert
Choir, consisting of students from
CMC, HMC, Scripps, and Pitzer,
under the direction of Michael
Lamkin.
Songs chosen for this evening's performance are composed and arranged by Aaron Copland, William Grant Still, William Dawson, Stephen Foster, Roger Wagner, and Jean Berger.
