Quire Cleveland sings "The Land of Harmony: American Choral Gems"

Meet us in “The Land of Harmony” — Quire Cleveland’s program of American music. You’ll hear early versions of The Star-Spangled Banner, When Jesus Wept, Amazing Grace — as well as lesser-known but equally inspiring works. Quire celebrates the new concert series at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lorain. You’ll hear music to delight and entertain: the Hymn of Peace (sung by a choir of 10,000 to mark the end of the Civil War), music by Amy Beach (“the American Brahms”), and Cleveland’s own Patty Stair. Plus works by William Billings, Stephen Foster, Edward MacDowell, R. Nathaniel Dett.
