The Chamber Choir

The Cornell University Chamber Singers present Music in a time of War, a memorial of the 1918 World War I armistice. The concert will feature a performance of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ exquisite Mass in G for double choir, written in response to his experience as a volunteer ambulance driver in France during World War I. The second half of this performance will feature the American Premiere of Polish composer Roman Palester’s The Vistula, a setting of World War I-era poetry by a composer responding to the atrocities of World War II. The Chamber Singers will be joined by an instrumental ensemble of two harps, two pianos, four horns, and percussion, as this powerful composition is resurrected for the first time since its mid-century premiere in Belgium. !here_should_be_iframe! <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/streetview?key=AIzaSyDdyNxaQBOZo1XeMHjcotBK0uAFJa0VL0M&location=42.44715425152934,-76.48365160055152&heading=270&pitch=0&fov=35" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe> !here_should_be_latitude! 42.44715425152934 !here_should_be_longitude! -76.48365160055152
