Singer

In a deeply moving program that spans centuries and cultures, Joel Thompson’s Seven Last Words of the Unarmed is paired with Johannes Brahms’ Requiem. Together, these intensely personal pieces create a sacred space for reflection, healing, and the transformative power of music to speak what words alone cannot express. Performed by the Conspirare Symphonic Choir.

Timeless Comfort, Modern Witness

The University of Texas at Austin

Purcell’s ground-breaking opera makes its long-awaited Opera Lafayette debut. Mary Elizabeth Williams returns to Opera Lafayette as Dido, the ill-fated Queen of Carthage, following her internationally lauded performance in last season’s Morgiane. The famously haunting aria “When I Am Laid in Earth” brings the resilient Dido to a crossroad in this woman-centered storyline, delivering an unforgettable saga of love, loss, power, and humanity.

Sixth & I

Furniture or architecture might come to mind when one hears the phrase "mid-century modern," but the creative style also impacted the music of the time. You’ll likely discover a mid-century work you’ve never heard before on this program for a cappella chorus.
