Join us for our first Pay-What-You-Can performance!
Featuring the glorious sounds of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, our 2025 Voices of the Spirit performance focuses upon texts with a powerful message of promise, hope and faith. Aaron Copland’s tour de force for a cappella choir and mezzo-soprano soloist, In the Beginning, sets the familiar Genesis account of the first six days of creation as a vibrant tapestry for unaccompanied voices.
Twentieth century American composer Margaret Bonds faced racist headwinds throughout her career, yet continued to produce deeply meaningful compositions that are only now beginning to receive the recognition they deserve. Her 1967 work Credo for chorus, soloists and piano sets excerpts from the poem of the same name by Black writer W.E.B. DuBois, about the nobility of the Black race and the hope for equality.
Leonard Bernstein’s exuberant Chichester Psalms has enjoyed enthusiastic popularity since its 1965 premiere in New York City. At turns reflective, joyous and hopeful, it proclaims its vision of a world united in peace: “behold how good and how pleasant it is for humankind to dwell together in unity.”
