SUMMARY:Concert C: We Are Stardust
DESCRIPTION:“We are Stardust” explores the mystery of love over time and space.  The mystery of a universe born in the stars serves as a metaphor for the power of love to bind us together. The feature work is the stunningly beautiful Requiem of Icelandic composer\, Sigurður Sævarsson\, who captures the spaciousness of the universe and time itself in this breathtaking new work.  Other featured works include music of Joseph Haydn\, Johannes Brahms\, Eric Whitacre\, and Taylor Scott Davis\, the newly appointed Composer in Residence for Voces8.  Scott Davis’ haunting composition “Stardust” encapsulates the central theme and mood of this concert: “A love like ours\, Sincere and pure. Deserves to be guided by Angels\, Deep\, into the unknown. On a bed of eternity Lay down its ivory bones. Until destiny and time collide and make of them – Stardust.” \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:Concert D: Like Barley Bending
DESCRIPTION:2027 James M. Collier New Works Festival\nThis year’s James M Collier New Works Festival features commissioned\, large-scale choral/orchestral works by two women composers\, Repertory Singers’ Composer in Residence\, Jodi French\, and English rising star\, Lucy Walker. Jodi French’s\, “Like Barley Bending” based on Sara Teasdale’s poem of the same name\, explores the resilience of the human spirit.  “So would I softly\, Day long\, night long\, Change my sorrow Into song.” The multi-movement work expounds on this theme as expressed by women poets and mystics across time. Lucy Walker is fast establishing herself as one of choral music’s brightest lights. She is being performed by the very top ensembles in the world.  Repertory Singers are proud that our commission will be her first major work commission and her first commission in the United States.  We look forward to more life-enhancing\, big heart music from these two outstanding women composers. \nBuy Tickets
