Hidden Gems
Featuring Cry of Jeremiah by Rosephanye Powell
Saturday, March 25, 8pm | Monday, March 27, 7:30pm
First Baptist Church, 1000 W Friendly Ave, Greensboro
Bel Canto Company and Gate City Voices weave a majestic story expressing wonder and awe of the eternal. Opening the concert, Dan Forrest’s In Paradisum describes one perspective of humanity’s understanding of what happens after death. His Three Nocturnes on poems by Sara Teasdale, Emily Dickinson, and Walt Whitman explore celestial wonders. Rosephanye Powell’s first major work, The Cry of Jeremiah, concludes the concert. The dramatic narrative is heightened by her use of narrator, percussion, brass, winds, and organ. These lesser-known works are certainly deserving of a more prominent place in today’s choral repertory.
