Spring 2025 Concerts "Break Open to Beauty"
Our spring concerts will showcase Giovanni Pergolesi’s heart-wrenchingly beautiful Stabat Mater, an early 18th-century poignant portrayal of a mother’s grief. This classic will be complemented by the world premieres of two new works for PWC: Composer-in-Residence Amy X Neuburg’s “Home is Where,” exploring our feelings about home and place, and an excerpt from our 2026 Composer-in-Residence Freida Abtan’s opera-in-progress, reimagining the Orpheus myth and his overwhelming grief that threatens the living world.
After diving into the depths of loss, we recover and reconnect with the light while revisiting PWC favorites, including Michael Bussewitz Quarm’s haunting “Nigra Sum,” highlighting the promise of a new spring; Morten Lauridsen’s serene “Sure on This Shining Night”; and Ron Jeffers’ heavenly arrangement of “Amazing Grace.”
Come with an open heart and immerse yourself in the profound beauty and depth of emotions!
