Join us for an outstanding performance of choral music, as we explore the wonders of the Universe! The featured work is “Music of the Stars”, a stunning three-part composition by Cecelia McDowall, which seeks to celebrate the power of music in these difficult times. The texts for movements one and three were written by James Weldon Johnson, an American civil rights leader, and Brian Odongo, a poet and historian from Kenya. The text for part three is an analysis of colour, written by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Other concert highlights will include works by Mark Sirett, Randall Thompson, Eleanor Daley, David Childs, Amy Bernon and Eric Whitacre.
