The MIT Women’s Chorale invites all to their spring concert, directed by Nhung Truong. The Chorale will feature two very different works titled Magnificat. One is the notable piece by the Baroque composer, Antonio Vivaldi, set to the standard Biblical text. The second, by contemporary composer Dale Trumbore, is set to a poem that takes a surprising view of the underlying story. Both will be accompanied by string quartet. Music from several different traditions but bearing on the idea of spirit or soul will round out the program. The event is free and open to all. Donations are accepted. For parking suggestions, please visit the Chorale’s website.
