A Gift to Be Free: A musical reflection on what freedom means today

Join us for an unforgettable concert that explores the essence of freedom through powerful music and poignant themes!

The highlight of the evening is Caroline Shaw’s "To The Hands," which beautifully intertwines Emma Lazarus’ poem The New Colossus with the chorale Ad Manus from Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri.

In addition to this centerpiece, enjoy compositions from six other renowned contemporary composers, including:

• Jake Runestad’s "The Peace of Wild Things"
• David Lang’s "if i am silent"
• Karen Siegel’s "To Be Free," an adaptation of the beloved Shaker/Copland tune Simple Gifts.
