Taylor Festival Choir Presents Music of Baltic Composers

Taylor Festival Choir

  The internationally renowned Taylor Festival Choir, founded and led by Dr. Robert Taylor, will present a concert of the choral music of the Baltic Nations. Featured repertoire will include Arvo Pärt’s setting of the Magnifcat, Veljo Tormis’ dramatic renunciation of war, Curse Upon Iron, and many others. The program will close with the patriotic songs from these singing cultures, traditionally sung by tens of thousands at their famous Folk Song and Dance National Festivals.

Robert Taylor talks with Jeanette Guinn about their upcoming Piccolo Spoleto program.

Jeanette Guinn is a professor in the Arts Management Program in College of Charleston’s School of the Arts and is pleased to have former students working in the US, Europe and Australia. After interning at the South Carolina Arts Commission during graduate school, Jeanette spent 25 great years working as an arts manager.
