REFLECTION OF OUR TIME

“Reflection of Our Time”

“Our time” can mean the time of the past, present, or future. Reflection is not purely retrospective; reflection can be a means for us to assess our present and plan for our future. Through the works of Britten, Morlock, Henze, and Hearne, we see through their historical lenses: their reflections on different times, spaces, events, traumas and emotions. Ironically, while these pieces reflect the past events, they also implore us to reflect on our present society. We will be premiering two compositions featuring Amy Cruz as our narrator. The concert will be held at Saint Paul the Apostle Catholic Church (10750 Ohio Ave) on April 27th, @7:30pm. ADMISSION BY DONATION.
