Music can transform and delight, move, comfort, and celebrate with the power of both sound and silence. We’ll travel the sound waves of Hebrew psalms, German partsongs, Renaissance motets, Ladino lullabies, thoughtful meditations, and a vigorous Zulu song of encouragement! Featuring Brahms, Byrd, Carter, Fanny Hensel, Vaughan Williams, Conte, Dawson, and more, including two world premieres!
