Taking inspiration from a Chinese fable where a rip in the sky causes the earth to split open, this concert explores love and loss, life and death, and ultimately invites us to work towards transformation and reconciliation. Through the powerful combination of voice and percussion, the VocalEssence Chorus will perform movements from Orff’s Carmina Burana, and Brahms’s Requiem, alongside contemporary works by Jocelyn Hagen, Jake Runestad, Reena Esmail, Stephen Paulus, and Ayanna Woods. Join us for an afternoon where voices soar and hearts are transformed.
