The annual Choral Masterworks concert offers two memorial pieces: Johannes Brahms’s Nänie (1881), a transcendent threnody written to honor a young artist-friend, and Joel Thompson’s intimate seven-movement cantata, Seven Last Words of the Unarmed (2015), a choral setting of the final words of Black men murdered by police officers. The concert will also celebrate a student soloist, the winner of Colby’s annual Concerto Competition, and the orchestra will perform Aaron Copland’s lively one-act ballet, Rodeo: Four Dance Episodes.
