Thomas Feng gives the premiere performance of Tui St. George Tucker's contrapuntal tour-de-force, Ave Verum. An evening-length work unfolding in three large parts, Ave Verum interweaves an ambitious set of variations on an original hymn with traditional chorales and Jazz-Age Broadway songs – a tapestry-like microcosm of the composer's unique musical world.

Part of a two-day celebration of Tui St. George Tucker’s centenary, at Appalachian State University. Full schedule and more information available here.

The concert will be livestreamed here. Concert also includes two of Tucker’s choral works, performed by Springhouse Farm Choir, an ensemble she herself once directed.
