Following Margaret Bonds's debut in New York City's Town Hall, she received a telegram saying "Beware or we'll be celebrating four great B's: Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and Bonds." Join Boston Conservatory Chorale and Graduate Conductor's Choir for an evening of works by the four great B's. Modeled after Bach's "Christ lag in Todesbanden," which will open the concert, this performance will feature the New England premiere of Bonds's cantata, "Simon Bore the Cross," setting the words of Langston Hughes and based on the spiritual "Never Said a Mumblin' Word." Additional works include Beethoven's "Elegischer Gesang," Brahms's "O Schöne Nacht," and Bonds's own choral arrangement of "The Negro Speaks of Rivers."
