Donald Nally, conductor
Joined by a chamber ensemble, the Bienen Contemporary/Early Vocal Ensemble performs two contemporary works exploring the full range of human needs and hopes. In The Branch Will Not Break (2015), Christopher Cerrone sets words of James Arlington Wright, whose raw poetry acknowledges despair and searches for meaning. Julia Wolfe’s Thirst (2008) looks at water—our need for it, and its fragile presence and absence in the world, with words of Isaiah as the work’s foundation: “the poor search for water and there is none.”
Tickets are $8 for the general public and $5 for students with valid ID.
