May 31st marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Walt Whitman. Whitman’s verse inspired literally hundreds of musical responses. On this final program in a four-part series encompassing ten composers, celebrate America’s national poet with two openhearted and ecstatic works for chorus and orchestra by Howard Hanson and Lowell Liebermann. The ship is clear at last, she leaps! Happiness… not for another hour… but this Sunday at 10 pm.
