Connected (Canterbury Singers and Northern Lights Vocal Ensemble Concert) – May 2024

The Canterbury Singers, under the direction of Kathy Southworth, partner with the Canterbury Shaker Village to present authentic Shaker music, expanded by arrangements of American folk songs, music of early America, and inspired arrangements by a variety of composers. One of the very few non-auditioned, high quality professionally directed choral experiences for mixed voices (men and women/teens and adults blended ensemble) in the Capital Area.

Northern Lights, under the direction of Peggo Horstmann Hodes, is a small women’s vocal ensemble, open by audition. Our name highlights our musical goals: to create a shimmer of sound through the power of harmony and the magic of many individual voices blending into one. We aim to expand musical boundaries, to transform ourselves and our audience through inspiring, meaningful songs, and to serve the larger community through sharing our music. We sing a variety of musical styles including folk, jazz, classical, pop, blue-grass, and body percussion. We sing a cappella or accompanied by piano. Occasionally, our own members add other instruments like guitar, banjo, and recorder. Learn more at ccmusicschool.org/northern-lights/

This event is part of our 40th Anniversary Year celebration and will be held in our historic Recital Hall. It is free of charge and open to the public. Suggested donation $10.
