Join NWRS as we present our spring concerts:
To Life! To Love!
featuring Liebeslieder waltzes by Johannes Brahms
Marjorie Skreen and Duane Hulbert, piano duet
Saturday, May 4 at 7:30 PM & Sunday, May 5 at 3 PM
Christ Episcopal Church
310 N. K Street, Tacoma, WA 98403
Artistic Director Kyle Haugen has curated an inspiring program designed to celebrate the beauty of the human spirit and the ways we experience love. The centerpiece of the concert is the first collection of Liebeslieder waltzes by Johannes Brahms, a composer of the late Romantic era.
Scored for singers and two pianists, we’re delighted to present the choral movements of this landmark work with collaborative pianists Marjorie Skreen and Duane Hulbert. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself tapping your feet to this clever and lively music!
Our repertoire also includes modern gems such as Elaine Hagenberg's "Measure Me, Sky," a piece that urges the exploration of life’s boundless potential, and Cecilia McDowall's "Love’s Philosophy," which intricately weaves together harmonies reflecting the richness of love's emotions.
We'll journey through time with Emma Lou Diemer's settings of Shakespeare poems in Three Madrigals and explore powerful themes conveyed in René Clausen's "Set Me as a Seal" and Undine Smith Moore's "I Would Be True."
The concert concludes with the infectious energy of Moses Hogan's "This Little Light of Mine" and the poignant beauty of Kim André Arnesen's "My Flame the Song," each offering a unique perspective on the meaning of life and love.
Please join us on May 4 and May 5 as we share a concert filled with a wide range of emotion and memorable melodies. Purchase your tickets at www.nwrs.org/tickets. We look forward to welcoming you "To Life! To Love!"
