WordSong, Boston's premier presenter of conversation-based concerts, presents:

”Tyger Circus“ William Blake’s provocative and richly layered poem The Tyger inspires 15 living composers to create songs and solos for an unprecedented evening of musical multiplicity.

Our circus is also a party: WordSong is celebrating its 10th Anniversary! In 2008, we began our unique approach to listener-focused programs in a Back Bay salon with a few settings of The Tyger. More than 60 concerts later—in public, private, and educational venues, in Boston and throughout New England, as well as New York, Washington, Minneapolis, and as far away as Vancouver and Bulgaria—we are still roaring.

Friday, April 26th 8pm at First Church Boston
please join us and our brilliant performers under the big top!
