In the fall concert, “Vocal Tapestries: Many Colors United in Song,” the group’s choral music will represent a wide range of musical expressions. The program repertoire spans centuries, from 19th Century Brahms part song, to new works commissioned specifically for Cor Cantiamo. As an additional twist to “Many Colors”, they will explore the wide range of sounds and colors the human voice can create. The concert will celebrate the global reach of the choral arts including music from Estonia, the Philippines, England, Ireland, settings of poetry by Langston Hughes and a rich array of American composers including Timothy C. Takach, William Averitt, and Fahad Siadat.
