DANCING TREE presents the St. Charles Singers, conducted by Jeff Hunt, in a program ranging from early 20th-century masterworks to contemporary pieces. The title work, written for St. Charles Singers, is Sir John Rutter’s Dancing Tree, an eight-song cycle drawn from the poetry of Charles Causley, whose verse blends folklore, nature, and emotional directness. The program proceeds with Benjamin Britten’s Hymn to St Cecilia, Op. 27, Claude Debussy’s Trois Chansons, Charles Villiers Stanford’s The Blue Bird, Jake Runstad’s Cello Songs, and Charles Forsberg’s Buttercup Days — the latter two, written for the St. Charles Singers. Cellist Jean Hatmaker, harpist Erin Freund, and pianist Stephen Uhl support the choir with steady, flowing musicality and verve.
