The Cincinnati Choral Society presents 鈥淢usic Down in My Soul鈥� which features a cappella arrangements of well-loved American hymns and spirituals, directed by Lisa Peters, CCS Assistant Conductor. The works being presented are arranged by the significant choral figures Robert Shaw (1916-1999), Alice Parker (1925-2023) and Moses Hogan (1957-2003). The unparalleled choral collaboration of Robert Shaw and Alice Parker in the 1950鈥檚 and 1960鈥檚 produced a large catalogue of arrangements of folksongs and seasonal music as well as numerous hymns and spirituals. Their arrangements are known for their clean compositional structure, simple linear simplicity and dedication to the beauty of the original melodies being used. Their timeless arrangements are staples of the American choral repertoire to this day with choirs of all ages. Among other titles, included in this program will be their arrangements of Amazing Grace and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.

Artistic Director Samuel Martin moderates a roundtable discussion that illuminates the process of artists engaging and interacting with composers, from the conceiving and commissioning of a new work through the preparation of its premiere performance.

Images of Asia have long sparked the European musical imagination. As described by European poets and composers, these images include exotic landscapes and fetishized female figures, stereotypes that remain even as the Asian diaspora has taken root and claimed citizenship all over the world. 
With three newly-commissioned song cycles by Asian American composers Justine F. Chen, Melissa Dunphy, and Kamala Sankaram, this recital asserts Asian American lived experience from the perspective of those of us who live it. As contrasted with Maurice Ravel鈥檚 鈥淎sie,鈥� a prime example of European musical Orientalism, these new songs describe the joys, pains, contradictions, and pride we experience as Asians living in this land we call home.

Soprano LaToya Lain and pianist/conductor Casey Robards provide an informative guide for engaging with the rich Spiritual repertoire.
