The Mount Holyoke College Concert Choir will present "A Choral Tapestry: From Classical to Calypso," its spring concert representing the ensemble's work during the spring semester and its celebration of Earth Day, in Abbey Memorial Chapel Sunday, April 22, at 2 pm. The event is free.

The program is built around a poem by John Neihardt, "I Will Sing as the Prairie," which describes the wind, snow, thunderstorms, and heat of summer in his home state of Nebraska.

The Concert Choir, made up of seventy first-year students, will perform selections drawn from Mozart's Cosi fan tutte and Edvard Grieg's Opus 33, as well as from performers like Sweet Honey in the Rock and Harry Belafonte. This We Know, a text adapted from Chief Seattle and set to music by Ron Jeffers, will open the program with the words, "This we know, the earth does not belong to us, we belong to the earth."

The choir is directed by Christopher Aspaas and accompanied by Mark Gionfriddo.
