Coffee with the GRS Chorus

A holiday offering of peace, light, and love, featuring Elaine Hagenberg’s Illuminare for choir and chamber orchestra.

Masterworks Choral Ensemble: It Could Be Beautiful

Washington Center Main Stage

The Orchestra presents a Sunday afternoon celebration of women composers beginning with Fanny Mendelssohn, the older sister of the composer Felix Mendelssohn. Overture in C Major, her only composition ever for orchestra alone, debuted at one of her private salon concerts in 1834. It remained unpublished during her lifetime and was only published in 1994. The Battle for the Ballot, written by Stacy Garrop and narrated by Mayor Stephanie Terry, features excerpts from the speeches and writings of seven suffragists, which depict their struggle for the right to vote.

 

Elaine Hagenberg's By Night features the women of the Evansville Philharmonic Chorus. Inspired by Harriet Prescott Spofford's poem “By Night,” it describes a young woman who discovers a bold new world of thrilling beauty when she ventures beyond her familiar walls. Gabriela Ortiz is among the most prominent composers in Mexico, and her varied and distinct work, Kauyumari, meaning “blue deer” represents a spiritual guide, transformed through an extended pilgrimage into a hallucinogenic cactus called peyote.
