Andover Choral Society presents "Simple Gifts" - Featuring American Folk Hymns

Let the Andover Choral Society bring you back
to a simpler time
in American life in a program
featuring beloved nineteenth-century

American folk songs and folk hymns.
Enjoy the iconic American sound of Aaron Copland’s
“Old American Songs,” movements from Randall
Thompson’s “Frostiana” set, and arrangements by Mormon
Tabernacle Choir director Mack Wilberg and others. 
The program also features baritone soloist Andrew Garland,

who will join the chorus in the Copland works. Critics have
described
Andrew Garland’s voice as “…virile,
luxuriantly warm and beautiful”
and
his performances as “expressive…
with the occasional streak of
theatricality.”
Mr. Garland will also perform selection of early

American folk songs arranged by Steven Mark Kohn
and featured on Mr. Garland’s CD, “On the Other Shore.”
The chorus will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra
arranged by Music Director, Michael Driscoll.
