Our 36th season, celebrating 21 years with Artistic Director Allen H Simon!
December 2011 - March 2012 - May 2012
Multi-dimensional sounds! A sparkling concert of holiday music from a multi-faceted list of composers: Chilcott, Stevens, Willcocks, Hawley, Handl, Holmes and more.
Choral music with a new perspective! No funny glasses required.
Honoring the dead has inspired composers throughout the centuries to create their greatest masterpieces. These two moving Requiems, both settings of nonstandard texts, bookend the history of choral music, one from the early Baroque and one from the 21st century.
with Orchestra Gloria
Swords into plowshares, spears into pruning hooks. Randall Thompson's The Peaceable Kingdom, inspired by a painting by Edward Hicks, explores Biblical themes of judgment and explores the harmony of peace within God's kingdom. Haydn's Mass in Time of War appropriates the drums of war into one of his best settings of the timeless text of the Latin Mass. Both breathtaking masterpieces combined in one awe-inspiring concert.
