Our Summer 2017 program features works that explore the drama and emotions connected with the human experience. We feel the tender, maternal qualities of the Virgin Mary in Verdi’s Laudi alla Vergine Maria and see the vast beauty of a heaven full of stars in Eriks Esenvalds setting of Sara Teasdale’s poem, Stars. Each of our composers enhances the texts with music so that we can feel the emotions of the experiences.
