An incredibly creative evening of choral and instrumental music by Don Bryn, Roger Zare, Jonathan Godfrey, Steph Davis, Steven Phillips, John Behnke, and others who have a hometown connection. With premiers of three commissioned works, the concert features choir, string ensemble, percussion, keyboards, classical guitar, banjo, and more.
This new multi-movement work by Steven Phillips uses jazz styles to explore new meanings of the traditional mass in the modern world. The multi-movement piece is interlaced with the words of contemporary poets and texts from various spiritual traditions. Accompanying the Chorale are top regional and national jazz musicians. Presented in appreciation for Second Heart Homes and the groundbreaking work of its founder, Megan Howell, of bringing community, help, and dignity to homeless persons.
A colorful and rousing annual celebration, now in its ninth year, this popular concert looks and the Christmas story through the eyes of the Celtic peoples. Produced in collaboration with First Presbyterian Church, features a 50-voice choir, piper Kevin Weigand, and multi-talented triplets, the Lubben Brothers.
