BW WOMEN'S CHORUS AND MEN'S CHORUS
Lisa Miragliotta & Devon Steve, Conductors

Sunday, April 26, at 2:00 p.m.
Gamble Auditorium, Kulas Musical Arts Building

The Baldwin Wallace Men's and Women's Choruses will be collaborating to present Elaine Hagenberg's "Illuminare," her first extended work.

As the composer states, "It consists of five movements for SATB chorus and chamber orchestra. Using lesser-known sacred Latin, Greek, and English texts, the piece takes us through a season of beauty and goodness that has been disrupted by darkness and confusion. But as Light gradually returns, hope is restored, illuminating our future and guiding us in peace."

The program will also feature other well-known works by Hagenberg, alongside a short concert set presented by the BW Men’s Chorus.

We hope you will join us for this extraordinary collaboration!
