What would it mean to really live up to the promise of this country? What would it sound like?
“National Anthem: Arise! Arise!” By Jean Rohe
A new choral arrangement bringing together voices across communities — not simply to celebrate what is, but to imagine what could be, and honor the history and acknowledge the trauma.
Featuring Jean Rohe and some very special choral communities.
This one means a lot.

On March 9, Guest conductor Mark Stover led our Festival Octavo Series Chorus through six beautiful choral pieces, all of them both beautiful and thought provoking in their arrangement and performance.
Please enjoy Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’” (arr. Adam Podd)
