Vox Humana Chamber Choir presents: Of the Earth

Event Description

The natural world - its grandeur, beauty, and permanence - has been an inspiration for poets and musicians for centuries, but there is a new and different imperative to singing and writing about the earth as we watch the worldwide disruption of natural systems that seemed immutable. Our world is beautiful, yet fragile, and we are not just closely linked with it, but are truly of the earth - clay into which life has been breathed; the earth is our soul. OF THE EARTH is a concert of music exploring our relationship with the earth, but despite all, ultimately optimistic in outlook: if we renew the earth, we renew ourselves, and our relationships with one another. Featured on this concert will be a new commission by Kim Farris-Manning, as well as Ēriks Ešenvalds, Andrew Balfour, Mari Alice Conrad, Charles Stanford, and laura hawley.
