A great tapestry starts with a thread…and so does a great piece of music. We’ll trace the threads of inspiration through this vibrant and eclectic program, from sacred harp singing and jazzy pandiatonicism, to the deeply intimate ties to family and home. Woven together, they form a colorful sound palette saturated in joy, playfulness, strength and sentimentality.
