The Strangest Moment in History

Deborah Winsor Williams, mezzo-soprano

The Magnificat is, as one author puts it, “a hymn of praise by a young woman chosen for perhaps the strangest moment in history”—in other words, the moment at which the Virgin Mary, in Christian tradition, discovers she’s to give birth to a savior. We’ll re-discover her words of wonderment, fear, and joy through the wildly different works of Ralph Vaughan Williams, Joan Szymko, Gwyneth Walker, Alan Hovhaness, Paul Chihara, and more! Featuring flute and harp accompaniment, plus renowned mezzo-soprano Deborah Winsor Williams.

Tickets are $15 for general admission; $12 for students with ID.

A Voice of One’s Own

We wrap up our 12th season with a concert of music celebrating women’s lives, women’s stories, and women’s dreams. Sound sappy?

This is one performance that’s sure to leave a mark.
