Featuring the Bach Children’s Chorus, Charissa Bagan, Artistic Director
Works from throughout the ages comment on humanity’s relationship with the earth and the environment. Music by Brahms, Emily Doolittle*, Rodrigo Cadet and Lori Laitman culminates in Cecilia McDowall’s large work for mixed choir, children’s choir, piano and percussion, A Time for All Seasons. The text beautifully weaves the famous lines from Ecclesiastes (“To everything there is a season, […] a time to plant, a time to pluck up what has been planted, […] a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace”) with new poetry by Kevin Crossley-Holland highlighting the timeliness of caring for the planet.
*Canadian composer
