JUST A COLLECTION OF TREES
Saturday, March 27 @ 7 pm

there is a forest which isn’t a forest
just a collection of trees
— Poul Borum, trans. Lansing McLoskey

At the heart of our season is a meditation on the unfolding of time not confined to evolution in a linear fashion, but rather as a revolution; an equilibrium of hope and futility — a means of waiting — through musical portraits of natural and human cycles.

To ensure the safety of our singers, their families, and our community at large this performance will not be open to an in-person audience. Instead, the concert will be presented online as our artists perform within recommended guidelines for singing.
