PioneerValley Cappella Concert: Pathfinding

About this event

Pioneer Valley Cappella, led by music director Scott Halligan performs its fall 2026 program, “Pathfinding”: “a meditation on the paths we follow on life’s journey”. The program includes music by Ralph Vaughan Williams; Charles Villiers Stanford: “Justorum Animae” with sacred text from The Book of Wisdom. Dylan Thomas’ poem “Fern Hill,” set to music by John Corigliano inviting us on a path of nostalgia for our youth. The program includes a North American premier of “Crude (oil),” by English composer Bernard Hughes. We close with “Untraveled Worlds” by Paul Halley, which sets text from “Ulysses” by Alfred Lord Tennyson. “The music drives us forward and urges us to continue seeking, exploring, pathfinding.” The chorus is joined by Pianist Scott Bailey.
