An evening of mesmerizing music showcasing exquisite works of world-renowned, modern composers. Featuring compositions of Canadian-American composer R. Nathaniel Dett, whose profound melodies will touch your soul as we perform masterpieces including ‘Ave Maria,’ ‘Listen to the Lambs,’ and ‘Chariot Jubilee,’ blending traditional African-American spirituals with classical music, and celebrating the rich tapestry that is the human experience. We delve into the soul-stirring sounds of Argentine composer Ariel Ramirez, his work ‘Missa Criolla,’ will take us on a musical pilgrimage, intertwining indigenous rhythms and melodies with liturgical texts. We then shift our focus to the enchanting ‘Serenade to Music’ from English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, and ‘Chichester Psalms,’ a powerful fusion of Hebrew scripture and Christian choral traditions by American composer Leonard Bernstein. Join us as we embark on a musical odyssey that will leave you inspired, uplifted, and touched by the power of choral music.
This concert is made possible in part, by Devon Energy and the Collaborative Orchestra Services Fund.
