As we move from spring's rebirth to summer's welcome warmth, Whatcom Chorale's final concert of the season celebrates the wellspring of American diversity through beloved songs rooted in our rich musical history. Selections from Randall Thompson's Frostiana, featuring insightful settings of timeless poetry by Robert Frost; diaspora-themed Irish folk tunes arranged by Alice Parker; homegrown American folk songs; and rousing African-American spirituals round out the program. This varied repertoire features Dongho Lee, Director of Music for St. Paul's Episcopal Church, as accompanist.
