Sir James MacMillan is a world-renowned Scottish composer and conductor whose belief in the spiritual power of music is evident in all his works. Guided by his strong faith, his music creatively uses melody and dissonance to tell the story of the beauty—and challenging complexity—of life on earth. Join VocalEssence, the U of M University Singers, orchestra, and special guest soprano Goitsemang Lehobye, in an all-MacMillan concert featuring his Seven Last Words from the Cross and The Sun Danced, based on the miraculous visions of Our Lady of Fatima to three Portuguese shepherd children in 1917.
