Old & New American Songs - June 4, 2023

Meet our Composers and Guest Soloist!

For this concert, the City Choir of Washington has commissioned three composers with DC ties to write “new American songs” which we will perform alongside selections from Aaron Copland’s Old American Songs. The concert will open with a piece by another contemporary composer, Gilda Lyons, and feature mezzo-soprano soloist Catrin Davies in John Corigliano’s Fern Hill.
