<div><em><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The eclectic program we will be singing ranges from Part to <span>Poulenc</span>, from Britten to Barbershop. You will travel to India with "<span>Ramkali</span>" and to Russia with "<span>Milost</span> Mira". You will visit Brazil with the traditional folk song "<span>Siriri</span>", and sit on a train to Berlin contemplating "Things I Didn't Know I Loved."</font></em></div>
<div><em><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">In addition, we will tell you "Five Ways to Kill a Man" (Bob <span>Chilcott</span>), sing of love lost, "Tarantella" (Randall Thompson), and of lovers lost, " The Ballad of Little <span>Musgrave</span> and Lady Barnard" ( Benjamin Britten.) If you are looking for a major lift, we are raising our "Hallelujah", spending a bit of time with Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady", and saying "good night" with Billy Joel's "<span>Lullabye</span>." </font></em></div>
<div><em><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Soprano Patty <span>Philipps</span> (who has sung with The <span>CSC</span>) will be joining us in the world premier of William Adams' "Tread Softly", which he composed in honor of Jeff Clark.</font></em></div>
