Concert
Friday, March 27, 8 p.m.
Lang Music Building, Concert Hall

World premiere vocal performance, an original work for soloists, chorus, piano, and organ by composer C. Leonard Raybon. Inspired by Murder in a Mill Town by Professor Bruce Dorsey, American Martyr tells the tale of Sarah Maria Cornell – tossed about by her friends, family, and God – searching desperately for love and faith in a life cut short. In this new work, she is made whole, beatified. Featuring vocal performances by students and alums. Presented by Swarthmore’s Music and History Departments.
