December 8, 2022 @ 12:10 pm - 12:50 pm
The Canterbury Singers share the glad tidings of the holiday season to all with this program of American folk tune favorites, some of our favorite Shaker tunes, and traditional carol singing for all.
About the artists:
Kathryn Southworth, the Music School’s dean of students & faculty and director of the Canterbury Singers, holds a B.M. in Piano Performance from Oberlin Conservatory and an M.M. in Vocal Accompanying and Coaching from the University of Illinois, where she was staff accompanist under the tutelage of acclaimed accompanist John Wustman.

The Canterbury Singers partner with the Canterbury Shaker Village to present authentic Shaker music, expanded by arrangements of American folk songs, music of early America, and inspired arrangements by a variety of composers. One of the very few non-auditioned, high quality professionally directed choral experiences for mixed voices (men and women blended ensemble) in the Capital Area.
