The Radcliffe Choral Society is excited to present UNCHARTED, featuring two virtual world premieres: A Sense of Decency and Planetarium. Composed by Dr. Katherine Pukinskis, A Sense of Decency sets excerpts from a dissent and an opinion written by the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Planetarium by Jenny Yao ‘22 brings to life a poem by Radcliffe College alumna Adrienne Rich ‘51, celebrating the work of 18th-century German astronomer Caroline Herschel. The premieres will be accompanied by the Grammy award-winning Parker Quartet, Blodgett Artists-in-Residence at the Harvard University Department of Music. In addition to the virtual recordings, UNCHARTED will include visual artwork created by singers in the Radcliffe Choral Society and high school students, behind-the-scenes footage of the RCS virtual choir experience this past fall, and introductions from the composers themselves.
This presentation will be “uncharted” in several ways; not only will it premiere two pieces written about trailblazing women, but it will also be the Radcliffe Choral Society’s first-ever completely virtual concert. We invite you to join us on YouTube as we share our music through a new medium. The link will be live on the RCS website homepage for your enjoyment on Friday, January 22, 2021 at 8:00 PM EST.
