The program includes Raven Chacon’s 2022 Pulitzer Prize-winning Voiceless Mass in addition to his Owl Song and a world premiere by Bienen student composer Matthew Mailman. In Chacon’s words, Voiceless Mass “considers the spaces in which we gather, the history of access of these spaces, and the land upon which these buildings sit.”
