Our Choral Atlas series takes to Ancient Greece, where we savor the deeply personal lyric of the woman poet Sappho, together with four chilling Odes from Sophocles’ tragedy, Antigone. The Sapphic poetry will be heard in its original Greek as well as English and Italian versions, the Sophocles choruses all set translations made by the SLCC’s own conductor, Philip Barnes, made specifically for the SLCC by Ned Rorem, Sasha Johnson Manning, Kerensa Briggs and Melissa Dunphy. Its excellent sight lines and clean acoustic make Graham Chapel an ideal venue for such repertoire whose quality and complexity require first class performers.
