ProArteOHIO Vocal Ensemble Concert: “American Portrait”

Columbus, Ohio’s premier professional vocal ensemble performs an uplifting program to celebrate the diverse voices that have contributed to the American experience. Varied titles have been assembled to create a moving musical portrait that marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Folk songs, folk hymns, and spirituals have held pride-of-place in the programing of American music, and
we honor that tradition with deep respect. In addition, patriotic songs, concert works, and choral
arrangements of what were popular songs in their day fill out the program. The audience will participate
in musicmaking as well when opportunities arise to lift every voice and sing with the professional artists
of ProArteOHIO.
