Performances in the Cincinnati area, Nashville, Birmingham, Atlanta, Tampa & Fort Lauderdale
The Westminster Choir, conducted by Joe Miller, will embark on a concert tour of the Southeast January 4 through 14, 2017. The will present five public concerts, four high school workshops and present a keynote performance at the Florida Music Educators Conference in Tampa.
The program will explore the gifts and challenges each day’s 24 hours present to the world. It will reflect on the words of American Shaker Ann Lee, “ Do all your work as though you had a thousand years to live, and as you would if you knew you must die tomorrow,” which conclude Paul Crabtree’s composition The Valley of Delight: Death and Resurrection. The program will also include Uģis Prauliņš’ Laudibus in sanctis; Kile Smith’s “Yes, It’s beautiful” from The Consolation of Apollo; Brahms’ Abendstandchen and Warren Martin’s Great Day, as well as other works.
Audience members will be invited to participate in Westminster’s Today I Will project, which strives to deepen audience engagement, by asking listeners to respond to the concert’s theme by completing the sentence “Today I will…..” and sharing it in writing or through social media. All responses will be collected and used to create an art installation at the Westminster Choir’s Homecoming Concert in Princeton in February.
