Winter Solstice Contemplation:
A Choral Journey from Darkness to Light

Elizabeth Braden, music director

A debut performance for Penn Chorale, a newly formed choral ensemble led by Elizabeth Braden. This musical program, inspired by the coming Winter Solstice, touches on elements of love and death, day and night, hope and dread - and finding and experiencing these emotions in both the darkness and the light.

Repertoire scheduled to include:

Twelfth Night, Samuel Barber 

Funeral Ikos, John Taverner

To Be Sung on the Water, Samuel Barber 

The Coolin, Samuel Barber 

Set Me as a Seal, Renee Clausen
