Clarion’s New Year’s Concerts will feature an eclectic mixture of a cappella works that bring out the best of The Clarion Choir: from the sacred motets of Bruckner to a stirring set of African-American spirituals arranged by the great American composer and arranger, William Dawson. The program will also include selections from Alexander Levine's Vigil for Peace, a prayer for peace in Ukraine, which The Clarion Choir premiered in last year’s concerts.
