The program will include traditional works by U.S. composers and folk music such as "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain," "The Gift to be Simple," and "Shall We Gather at the River." The Choral Arts Ensemble, led by Artistic Director Michael Culloton, is in its 27th season and is recognized for its commitment to choral excellence. The ensemble is dedicated to the creation and performance of new music and the masterworks from the Renaissance to the 20th century.

The gift is made in gratitude for the couple's care at Mayo Clinic.
