TICKETS
This program takes the listener on a musical journey from loss
and despair, as explored in Golijov's intense and hauntingly beautiful songs,
to the mystical exploration of the steps from loss to light by Alan Hovhaness,
and finally the life-embracing music of Russell Peck, a composer who also had a
deeply felt mission to make the world a better place.
The Boston Globe called Laura Choi Stuart "a lyric soprano
of ravishing quality". Fanfare Magazine proclaimed Chris Gekker to be
"a trumpeter who is able to produce meltingly flutelike tones at one
extreme, and to bring the house down at the other". Come see why these are
two of our favorite artists!
