Harstine Island Community Choir joins Olympia's Masterworks
Choral Ensemble to present "Circle Song: Tracing the Cycle of
Life." Circle Song charts the epic human journey in song.
Seven movements transport us along the course of human life, in
a song cycle tracing from birth to death – and rebirth. Circle
Song weaves together traditional songs and texts from ten
different Native American cultures, among them the Chinook and
Kwakiutl of the Pacific Northwest. Bob Chilcott, of the renowned
King’s Singers, composed the work, which premiered April 2004 in
Birmingham, England. The program also features Randall
Thompson’s "Frostiana," a choral suite fashioned on seven of
Robert Frost’s poems.
All Harstine Island Community Choir performances are provided
as a service to the community. We appreciate your donations
as a thank you for our performances.
The Washington Center for the Performing Arts performance
involves Masterworks Choral Ensemble, for which
there is a ticket charge.
