by Sir Michael Tippett; Sir Andrew Davis conducting
Sir Michael Tippett's A Child of Our Time uses American spirituals to limn a work of tolerance and compassion in a violent and difficult time. On this weekend's Choral Showcase, we honor the late conductor Sir Andrew Davis with his final recording, released this past May.
