Just in time for Halloween, we have a concert from Christ United Methodist Church in Greensboro with that city's acclaimed chorus. In October 2013 they performed selections from composers ranging from Transylvania and Scandinavia to the U.S. The selections exhibit a common thread of mysticism and other-worldliness, with sources ranging from medieval legends and a poem by Ezra Pound to Shakespeare and Renaissance comic madrigals.
