Silver Celebrations

An afternoon of 25th anniversary celebrations begin with the combined forces of the Stangeland Youth Choral Academy and two decades of the program’s alumni. Several pieces, including a Bach cantata and movements from Handel’s Samson, showcase the work of America’s best high school choral singers. An OBF commission and winner of the Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance, Krzysztof Penderecki’s Credo is a masterclass in powerful, vivid voices. Anna Sułkowska-Migoń brings her “energetic charm” (Le Monde) and personal relationship with the Credo to this 25th anniversary performance.
