Train with moose and snow

Join us in exploring music of inspiration and peace, a collection of traditional and not-so-traditional choral works with guest vocalists and musicians sharing some of their most beloved music with us. Seasonal selections include excerpts from world-famous works including Hodie by Ralph Vaughan Williams and A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten. These will be contrasted with modern works including sections of The Requiem For Peace by Larry Nickel and Snow Angel by Sarah Quartel, and high-energy works such as Celtic Mouth Music and others. 

This is a "must hear" event for anyone interested in "World Music".  This percussion ensemble will perform a selection of very intricate pieces from the Island of Bali, Indonesia.  Directed by Dr. Maisie Sum, with Artist-in-Residence I Dewa Made Suparta.  All ages welcome.

UW Balinese Gamelan

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.
