Sounds of Hope

Sounds of Hope

Join us for Delaware’s premiere performance of Elaine Hagenberg’s Illuminare, for choir and chamber orchestra, Saturday, May 11, 6pm.

Illuminare is Elaine’s first extended work, consisting 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 choirs will also be performing other choral works, and the audience is welcome to join us in singing Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus, and Lutkin’s The Lord Bless You and Keep You.
