THIS IS HOW YOU LOVE – March 21 & 22, 2020: Husband and wife Timothy Takach and Jocelyn Hagen co-composed This is How You Love, a poignant, a cappella oratorio about the depths of relationships – companionship, conflict, and love. Texts are drawn from contemporary poetry and mixed with anonymous passages from couples’ therapy sessions. It is a stunning piece, and an incredible compositional accomplishment! The Singers will also present music based on the biblical poetry from the Song of Songs, including settings by Giovanni Palestrina, Karen Thomas, Jan Sandström, and Stephen Paulus.
March 21, 7:30 pm – Nativity of Our Lord, St. Paul; March 22, 3:00 pm – Westwood Lutheran, St. Louis Park CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
WALDEN POND – May 16 & 17, 2020: Considered by many to be Dominick Argento’s choral masterpiece, Walden Pond employs three cellos and harp to evocatively team with the choir and bring new life to Thoreau’s revered text. Works by John Muehleisen and Jake Runestad also celebrate the human connection to nature through the words of Carl Sandburg, John Muir, and Wendell Berry.
May 16, 7:30 pm – First Lutheran, Columbia Heights; May 17, 3:00 pm – Mairs Concert Hall at Macalester College CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
