Our Spring Concerts

We honor the earth and its capacity both to heal and be healed, the purifying nature of fire, and the healing ability of music, shaped by the poetry of environmental activist Wendell Berry and Pulitzer Prize winner Sara Teasdale.

Always a choir favorite, our Friends and Family concert is a one-hour interactive edition of our Spring concert, geared for the younger members of your family.

A Rite of Remembrance

As darkness gathers and the veil thins, we celebrate the lives of our beloved dead in words and music
…for our ancestors
…for those who gave their lives to save others
…for the victims of oppression
…for the victims of natural disasters
…for we who mourn.

Join us for hauntingly beautiful music and words of healing.
