Our centerpiece concert of the season, Held in Light, pairs two deeply moving works—Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem, a serene and spiritually uplifting choral masterwork with Elaine Hagenberg’s Illuminare, a newly composed work celebrating light breaking through the darkness.

Journey through memory and place with Mendelssohn’s sunny Italian Symphony, Barber’s nostalgic Knoxville Summer of 1915 featuring soprano Stefanie Anduri, and Ginastera’s Variaciones Concertante, celebrating the diverse voices of the orchestra.
