About the event
The second post-COVID collaboration between Hunter College's large ensembles is slated to be even grander than the first! Mozart's unfinished choral masterpiece will be preceded by Florence Price's recently unearthed cantata "Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight," a musical setting of Vachel Lindsay's piercing poetry on modern society's failures.
Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight (poem written in 1914, cantata rediscovered in 2009)
