The choral group AVE (Artists' Vocal Ensemble) returns to the stage on the President's Day weekend. The concert's title, “This American Land,” refers to the actual earth, and the music is connected by composers' musings on “the sacredness of the earth.”
The wide ranging program includes Native American music, traditional American psalmody and shape-note singing, spirituals, and new compositions. Artistic Director Jonathan Dimmock conducts.
