Strangers & Friends. Writers, thinkers, and philosophers across history and cultures note the importance of treating strangers with respect. And we never know–a single, unexpected interaction with a stranger could lead to a friendship. Choral Arts’ midwinter concert offers repertoire centering on how we relate to another – a stranger on the street, an acquaintance, a friend.
Featuring Caroline Shaw’s “To the Hands” plus works by Alex Berko, Shruthi Rajasekar, Kathleen Allan, Jason Robert Brown, and more. https://www.choralartsensemble.org/
