To The HandsThe final concert of our tenth anniversary season is built around Caroline Shaw’s To the Hands. Written as a response to “Ad manus,” the third cantata from 17th-century Danish composer Dieterich Buxtehude’s meditations on the suffering body of Christ, To the Hands interpolates and “colors [Buxtehude’s] language, as… the suffering of those around the world seeking refuge, and of our role and responsibility in these global and local crises, gradually come[s] into focus.” In addition, we’ll be performing the Buxtehude cantata on which it is based and a small number of accompanying selections. Join us as we close out our tenth anniverary season with this extraordinary musical reflection, which will also be our first concert to feature a small string ensemble in addition to vocalists.

Lux Education InitiativeWe're ecstatic to announce our first-ever education initiative for high school singers! This is a rare opportunity for talented high school singers to learn from and sing alongside professional singers, not to mention seeing what a professional choir sees behind the scenes. Participants will rehearse alongside Lux with Artistic Director Robby Napoli and other Lux singer-mentors. After rehearsals conclude, they'll perform as a group on their own and alongside Lux! Applications are due March 28.
This year, students will perform music by Ola Gjeilo, James MacMillan, and Christen Holmes. They'll also join Lux and a professional string quartet for Buxtehude's Ad Manus, before Lux performs their own set, including Caroline Shaw's To the Hands. |
