Coro Allegro, Boston's LGBTQ+ and allied classical chorus, invites you to join us as we celebrate with fanfares the centennial of legenday Boston LGBTQ+ composer Daniel Pinkham, the 150th anniversary of Ralph Vaughan Williams, plus our own 30 years of creating music with pride with Artistic Director David Hodgkins!
Experience glorious and resonant works for double and triple choir, brass quartet and organ, all in the beautiful sanctuary of the Church of the Covenant—from Pinkham's exuberant, multi layered Fanfares and beloved Christmas Cantata to Vaughan Williams' exquisite a cappella double choir Mass in G minor.
Plus don't miss the Boston premiere of an extraordinary 12-part a cappella motet by composer Shawn Crouch, based on the poems by American Iraq War veteran Brian Turner, juxtaposed with works by 14th Century Persian poet Hāfez, selected, reinterpreted and translated by contemporary Iranian American poet, Sholeh Wolpé.
