The Radcliffe Choral Society and Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum proudly present What Endures: Voices Through Time, a collaborative concert featuring Windborne, the acclaimed vocal quartet known for their fearless harmony and deep-rooted engagement with global folk traditions of resistance, resilience, and renewal. Together with guest artist Elitsa Stoyneva, an award-winning Bulgarian folk singer, the program draws inspiration from the Day of the National Awakeners—a Bulgarian holiday honoring those who preserve culture and awaken the spirit through music, education, and collective memory.
Spanning sacred choral works, spirituals, protest anthems, love songs, and contemporary reflections, the program explores how music sustains us—how it carries grief, ignites hope, and binds communities across time. Windborne shares dynamic arrangements from their own repertoire, taught in residency with the choruses, while music from varied traditions connects modern performance to ancestral memory. The Radcliffe Choral Society lifts up works by Antonio Vivaldi, Marques Garrett, Gerald Smith, Sarah Quartel, and Alberto Favero—celebrating joy, connection, and belonging. The Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum offers music by William Byrd, Arvo Pärt, Carlos Chávez, and Dale Trumbore, inviting us into a sound world shaped by spiritual perseverance, longing, and joy in stillness.
Together, these voices honor the stewards of song—mothers, poets, laborers, revolutionaries, and ordinary people—who have carried music forward not only as art, but as lifeline.
