Ancient Greek repertoire in St. Louis/Dunphy premiere

Sunday, April 7, sees an unusual program of music setting ancient Greek writers at Graham Chapel, on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis. The repertoire includes four of the Odes from Sophocles’s ANTIGONE translated by Philip Barnes, the conductor of the performers, the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus. The composers are Ned Rorem, Sasha Johnson Manning, Kerensa Briggs, and – in a world premiere – Melissa Dunphy. The female poet Sappho is heard through the music of Rorem, Clare Maclean and Ildebrando Pizzetti. Tickets for the 3 pm performance may be purchased at the door.
