Bela Bartok’s mythic parable Cantata Profana: "The Nine Enchanted Stags" anchors this concert of magical stories told through music and spoken word.

Street Requiem

May 2nd, 2025 at 6:30pm (1hr length)
Moore Square

The Chorale and Youth Choir combine forces to sing "Street Requiem", a work written by Australian composer Kathleen McGuire in collaboration with Andy Payne and Jonathon Welch, in order to bring attention to those who suffer from housing insecurity and to honor those who have died on the streets. The composers set English, African, and Persian texts in multiple musical styles, including contemporary, gospel, and indigenous. This moving and uplifting work invites both performers and listeners to contemplate and address this significant social issue together as a community.
