SUMMARY:Ethereal Imaginings: A Choral Journey Beyond the Earthly Realm
DESCRIPTION:Performances are on Sunday\, May 18th\, at 4:00 PM at the 
 Lutheran Church of the Incarnate Word\, and Friday\, May 23rd\, at Dow
 ntown United Presbyterian Church.\n\nThe concert features Will Todd’s 
 *Among Angels*\, a luminous work for choir and two harps that lifts th
 e listener into celestial soundscapes. This piece\, performed with har
 pists Grace Browning\, principal harpist of the Rochester Philharmonic
  Orchestra\, and Sunshine Quan\, a doctoral candidate at the Eastman S
 chool of Music\, creates an ethereal atmosphere that transports the au
 dience to a heavenly realm.

Complementing this is J.S. Bach’s *Singet
  dem Herrn*\, a motet that invites us to bring a fresh\, joyful song t
 o our ever-evolving relationship with the divine. The addition of harp
  continuo adds a unique color to this canonic choral work.\n\nThe prog
 ram also includes *O Light Divine* by assistant conductor Jonathan Mad
 den\, a heartfelt farewell as he departs for the University of Michiga
 n to begin his doctoral studies\; Jennifer Lucy Cook’s *They Are Mothe
 r*\, a vibrant\, genre-blending piece reimagining the divine in inclus
 ive terms\; and Craig Hella Johnson’s *All of Us*\, a moving call to u
 nity and love from *Considering Matthew Shepard*.\n\nBoth concerts are
  offered as a gift to the community\, with a suggested donation of $25
  for adults and $10 for students—but all are welcome\, with or without
  a donation.
