We make our circle wide to welcome the stranger, and invite each other to be a light in each others lives. With music by Herbert Howells, Reeana Esmail, Joanna Marsh, and more, join us as we open our arms to reach across time and traditions this holiday season.Expenses $3,543 · revenue $6,529
- We Will be Your Refuge - Following in the footsteps of his French forefather Gabriel Faure, Maurice Durufle composed a Requiem of immense warmth and comfort, rather than a reminder of the day of wrath. We perform this iconic work inspired by, and elaborating on, Gregorian chant in its chamber orchestration, joined on the program by Caroline Shaws refugee cantata, To the Hands. Her work is in turn inspired by, and elaborates on, Dietrich Buxtehudes cantata of the same name, Ad manus. Two works, at once modern and ancient, that remind us of the importance of comforting and welcoming one another in times of need and strife.Expenses $12,237 · revenue $5,090
