We conclude our 18th season with From Day to Night—a program of music filled with hope, reflection, and passion. From Benjamin Horne’s stunning arrangement of the American spiritual Deep River to Dan Forrest’s tear-jerking Good Night, Dear Heart, this concert features music that will move audiences on both emotional and spiritual levels. Of special note is Omar Thomas’ Of a New Day Begun—perhaps one of the most powerful pieces of music composed in the last 10 years.
