All God's Creatures
Saturday, October 25th, 2025
7:30pm at South Main Baptist Church
Conductor - Artistic Director Betsy Cook Weber
We look to our friends from the animal kingdom for this wonderful concert that opens with a rousing spiritual arrangement performed by the Men’s Ensemble from South Main Baptist Church followed swiftly by Britten’s sublime “Rejoice in the Lamb.” Kevn Puts’ beautiful “If I Were a Swan” is then paired with R. Murray Shafer’s “Medieval Bestiary,” a clever setting of 12th-century texts that attempt to draw connections between the characteristics of God and various animals, real and imagined.
We look forward to offering the world premier of the first installment of Houston Seasons — Autumn by Houston composer, Daniel Knaggs, and Houston poet, Devondra Banks Brown. We close with a romp, “All God’s Creatures Got a Place in the Choir.” This is one of those concerts where there is truly something for everyone.
