Over the centuries, many of the world's leading composers have adapted the rich folk music traditions of their homeland to create timeless cultural-infused gems. The Chorale presents an inviting cross-section of these compelling interpretations on Sunday, March 29, 2009, at 7:00 p.m., at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Music Director Grant Gershon and the Chorale's Assistant Conductor Ariel Quintana share conducting responsibilities.

Gershon leads 40 members of the choir in such classics as Bartók's Slovak Folk Songs, Forgotten Peoples Cycle by Tormis, Poulenc's Chansons Francaises and Copland's Old American Songs. Assistant Conductor Ariel Quintana takes the podium to conduct Brahms' gypsy-tinged Zigeunerlieder.
