SUMMARY:Vivo Performing Arts Presents: I Dream A World Youth Choral Showcase
DESCRIPTION:This must-see event for the United States’ 250th anniversary year brings together a stage full of talented young singers\, the words of American literary luminaries\, two amazing Boston-based cellists\, and the world premiere of a new choral work by B.E. Boykin. \nEach youth choir presents a unique musical setting of Langston Hughes’ poem “I Dream A World\,” in compositions by esteemed composers Rollo Dilworth\, Mike Block\, Andre Thomas\, Dan Welcher\, and more. \nThe program also brings new life to the words of Boston’s Phillis Wheatley—a brilliant poet\, trans-Atlantic literary celebrity\, and the first published African American author. Cellists Mike Block and Francesca McNeeley collaborate for a stirring arrangement of Wheatley’s “A Farewell to America\,” while composer B.E. Boykin and author Brittny Ray Crowell set other Wheatley texts to music for the assembled choirs. \nfeaturing\nBoston Children’s Chorus\nBoston City Singers\nHandel and Haydn Society Youth Choruses Chamber Choir\nMike Block cello\nFrancesca McNeeley cello
