An evening of moving poetry and music awaits you! Featuring the second performance of We Are the Lucky Ones by Jocelyn Hagen, this new commission by the Chorale is set to poems by Julia Singer and Freya Manfred, exploring the roles of fortune and desire in our lives. Alongside Hagen's masterpiece, the chorale will perform Gustav Holst's The Cloud Messenger, a lush, evocative work set to an ancient Sanskrit poem about married love that transports listeners to mystical realms with its storytelling and lush harmonies. You'll also hear a new poem by Bahir Nasiri, a poet laureate of Afghanistan, that offers his perspective on the themes explored in the concert. Come and experience the power of music to communicate deep emotions, connect us to the ethereal, and reveal the enchantment in the world around us.

We invite you to envision a world where compassion, unity, and love prevail, leaving you inspired to make a difference in the world around you. This concert features two contemporary works that speak to the soul's yearning for understanding and connection. Alex Berko's Sacred Place is an ecological service set to poems and letters by writers who view the earth as sacred, inviting contemplation on spaces that hold personal and communal significance. This Love Between Us by Reena Esmail beautifully bridges Eastern and Western musical traditions, celebrating the universal language of love that transcends cultural divides. Together, these pieces offer a hopeful glimpse of a world where passion for life, love, and our shared humanity fuels a brighter future for us all.
