Highlights include Stephen Paulus's "The Road Home", a poignant reminder that no matter how far we wander, there is always a path that leads us back. We will sing Elaine Hagenberg's "Illuminare", a five movement masterpiece for SATB chorus and chamber orchestra. The music traces a journey through beauty and darkness as light gradually returns to restore hope and peace. Dr. John Wells at the piano.
