Rhodes Singers and Chamber Singers Spring Concert (for concert at St. Patrick’s Cathedral)
Rhodes College, Memphis, TN
The theme for the 2023 Rhodes Singers concert tour is Songs of Hope and Light: Music to Soothe a Troubled World. While there may be many divisions and disagreements among people these days, one thing we trust we can agree on is that music is a balm for all of our spirits. Music creates community, brings people of diverse backgrounds and beliefs together, helps us forget our troubles, our divisions, our anxieties and stresses for a few moments while we commune together while beautiful sounds of human voices wash over us. Our 2023 tour features music of such a theme by composers spanning centuries, including Eriks Esenvalds’ Rivers of Light, Palestrina’s Sicut Cervus, Timothy C. Takach’s Neither Angels nor Demons, Frank Tichelli’s Earth Song (dedicated to the people of Ukraine), Eric Whitacre’s Hope, faith, life, love, and Jennifer Higdon’s unique offering, Telegram. This tour also includes several inspiring American spirituals including Judgment Day by Mark Butler, Ain’t No Grave, performed with AML, set by Caldwell and Ivory, and three spirituals by Moses Hogan, honoring the 20th anniversary of his death.
