The musical program features traditional songs from the United States, Europe and Caucasus Georgia. The American repertoire includes shape-note songs (a traditional New England song style), powerful gospel numbers, cowboy songs, and haunting folk tunes from the Appalachians. Songs from Corsica and Georgia provide a mixture of sacred and secular pieces that demonstrate the incredible range of unique singing traditions from those countries. This year's program also includes a diverse set of early music. Each member has contributed songs from his or her particular area of musical knowledge and expertise. The result is a dynamic and eclectic program that will delight all who enjoy performances of unique and energetic flavor.
