This year’s celebration of Alice Millar Chapel’s birthday offers three bold and imaginative works. The entire glorious chapel space will resound in Francis Poulenc’s darkly dramatic Concerto for Organ, Timpani, and Strings. William Grant Still’s Ennanga—the title refers to a type of African harp— is a bravura work for harp, piano, and strings. Concluding the concert is Handel’s brilliant and highly virtuosic Dixit Dominus for chorus, soloists, strings, and continuo.
