...unfamiliar stylistic elements in the piece sparked the interest of musicologists. The choir will perform a completed iteration of the work by one such scholar, Harvard’s own Robinson Jr. Professor of Humanities Robert D. Levin ’68. The solos will be sung by soprano Teresa Wakim, mezzo-soprano Krista River, tenor Aaron Sheehan, and baritone Nikolas Sean-Paul Nackley, all professional vocalists of the New England area. The Harvard University Choir, founded in 1834, has a close affiliation with the Memorial Church. Led by Gund University Organist and Choirmaster Edward E. Jones, the choir sings...
