We are excited to bring the music of American Composer, William Billings, to our audience this weekend!
Here are a few words from our Assistant Director, David Kime, regarding his choice to program this piece.
"When you think of American sacred choral music, William Billings may not be the first composer who comes to mind. He was, however, among the "founding fathers" of choral music in the United States. A colorful figure of the Revolutionary War era, his music reflects a rugged, raw, somewhat unfinished feeling, seemingly evocative of early America. I find this characteristic in Billings's music to be fascinating and charming, so I am very pleased to be performing "Let Every Mortal Ear Attend" with Santos Chamber Singers this week!"
Please visit our Facebook Event for "Sacred Heritage" to RSVP for the concert this Friday, August 2nd.
