We've been anticipating this day for over a year – the day we are able to announce our plans for in-person, unmasked, indoor singing, re-focusing on the many (postponed and future) commissioned premieres we are longing to give life.
return
to singing, live
emerge
from isolation to community
remember
the time, and the friends who left us during it
While inspiring for its promise, the 2021-2022 Season would be exhilarating even without a pandemic to leave behind, with eighteen commissioned world premieres; collaborations with JACK Quartet, Scott Dettra, and the Annenberg Center; debuts at The Clarice, Dartmouth, University of Richmond, Cleveland Museum of Art, Shadyside Presbyterian - Pittsburgh, and a return to Big Sky, Montana.

We're back.
The first event is on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
As we return, there is much to remember.
Sometimes the stars do align.
