The Island Community Chorus returns to the Old Whaling Church in Edgartown this weekend, with a pair of concerts centered on the 1964 liturgical work Misa Criolla by Argentinian composer Ariel Ramírez.

Audiences also will hear the famous duet from Georges Bizet’s 1863 opera The Pearl Fishers, Antonio Carlos Jobim’s bossa nova

standard The Girl from Ipanema and a Robert Burns poem set to a Scottish traditional melody.

A Langston Hughes poem with a contemporary setting, a modern choral work by Karen Marrolli and a spring-themed song first recorded by Blossom Dearie round out the program.

Show times are 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 3 and 3 p.m. Sunday, May 4.

Written in Spanish, Ramíerez’s Misa Criolla (Creole Mass) is inspired by the folk music of Argentina, chorus director William Peek told the Gazette this week.

“It’s very dramatic and it’s very joyful,” Mr. Peek said, adding that it was a favorite of the late Pope Francis, an Argentinian who became the first Latin American pope.

Solists in the Ramírez work will be Island baritone David Behnke and visiting Colombian tenor David Rivera Bozón, with an instrumental ensemble including Islanders Molly Sturges (piano), Lucas Nascimento (guitar) and Tauras Biskis (percussion) and visitors Carion Chu (double bass) and Lisa Esperson.

Mr. Behnke and Mr. Rivera Bozón will sing together again in Bizet’s Au fond du temple saint, while Island tenor Dorian Lopes and soprano Shay Fee will join their voices for Burns’s My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose.

Soprano Becky Williams will solo on They Say It’s Spring, written by Marty Clark and Bob Haymes and debuted by Ms. Dearie in 1958.

Tickets for this weekend’s concerts are available at the door, with students admitted free.
