DCA launched its 40th Anniversary Season with this fall afternoon concert. The key works for this concert evolved from last season’s “by request” member and audience survey. Randall Thompson’s Frostiana sets poetry of the great Robert Frost to music, and Morten Lauridsen’s lush Lux Aeterna highlights DCA’s richly layered soundscape. Three French chansons and works by Reginal Wright and Moses Hogan rounded out the afternoon’s choral presentation, which was accompanied by Gabriel Benton.
