How to get there
Cantate Concert Choir travels from darkness and despair to the light of hope in a dramatic double-bill featuring an unconventional instrumental ensemble that challenges and transcends tradition. Michael Kurth’s Miserere embraces a “modern-primitive-sacred-spooky” style, alternating texts from Psalms and Lamentations with visceral modern poems. Elaine Hagenber’s Illuminare offers a balm as in her cinematic style, “Light gradually returns, hope is restored, illuminating our future and guiding us in peace.”
Featuring mezzo-soprano Cara Schaefer
