Noon Hour Concert: Earth Voices

This earth-themed concert features Earth Voices, a performance piece by Carol Ann Weaver for readers, soundscape, and visuals, with texts by 24 Mennonite writers from North and South America, Middle East, and Africa.  The soundscape is based on Carol's compositions, on-site field recordings, and visuals, which frame and synergize with the spoken word.  This piece seeks to find voices which can lead us into a deeper knowledge of the earth and our relationship to it.

Noon Hour Concert: Attacca Quartet

This is the final of the "68" Haydn String Quartet concerts. The title refers to the 68 string quartets that Haydn wrote over the course of his life. Each exhibits its own unique characteristics and compositional techniques. The members of the Attacca Quartet have been so captivated by these works that it felt only natural to feature a number of Haydn string quartets as an entire program, as opposed to the usual tradition of hearing only one as a concert opener.
