Description:
Shawn Vondran, conductor
This eclectic program delves into an array of emotions and moods. David Biedenbender’s jubilant Luminescence, based on a 17th-century hymn, is followed by John Mackey’s elegiac Some treasures are heavy with human tears, written in response to the tragic 2019 mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio. Ralph Vaughan Williams’ classic Folk Song Suite, Brian Balmages’s majestic Fanfare Canzonique, and Steve Danyew’s prelude and fugue-inspired Lauda round out the performance.
