Bass-baritone Kevin Spooner returns following his 2024 work with Charlottesville Opera to join The Oratorio Society of Virginia as a soloist for Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs during Together in Song: Music & Poetry. The performance sets to music four poems by George Herbert, a Welsh poet and Anglican priest in the 16th century, and includes works by a variety of composers including Libby Larsen, Morten Lauridsen, and Rosephanye Powell. This concert benefits Literacy Volunteers of Charlottesville/Albemarle, and community members are invited to participate in a 10am choral workshop with Music Director Michael Slon before performing with The Oratorio Society later in the day.
