Finding Home: A Sense of Belonging
Welcome to a musical and spiritual journey that takes a deeper look at what it means to “belong.” In search of “home,” this program examines our frailty, fear, and isolation in order to expose a uniquely human sense of companionship and belonging. Join us as we re-envision “home” as not just a place or a group of people, but also “home” as a state of mind. Several pieces by today’s leading choral composers feature violin, cello, and percussion, and include Eric Whitacre, Ola Gjeilo, Giselle Wyers, Elaine Hagenberg and Latvian composer Ēriks Ešenvalds. Come explore a variety of “homes” from a variety of places, including an African American spiritual, a German quartet by Johannes Brahms, a setting of an African proverb, and a popular song from China.
