Athens Chamber Singers invite you to our
Annual Spring Concert

Criers, Ringers and Auctioneers
 
A concert of 16th and
20th-century street sounds.

Stepping back in time, the first half of our concert paints a musical picture of what the streets sounded like in 16th-century London, filled with street vendors promoting their wares by singing catchy phrases, and the ringing of bells to mark the times of day and calling people to church and home.  By contrast, the second half presents a 20th-century setting of similar street cries and bell sounds, along with a delightful piece that provides an Americana counterpart, a setting of auction cries.
