Wicker Park Choral Singers invite you to join them on March 27 for a
journey through a day’s most intriguing hours. Dusk ‘til Dawn, the
ensemble’s second concert of the 2009-10 season, will take listeners on
a one-hour musical exploration of sunset, sunrise, and all that lies
between. Dusk ‘til Dawn joins diverse musical selections—spanning
genres, continents and centuries—to explore not only the passing of
time, but the many different sentiments these times of day represent.
Sunset brings both lullabies and reflections on death, dark night
offers deep dreams and mournful solitude, and sunrise heralds hope and
rebirth. Highlights of Dusk ‘til Dawn include Ethan Perry’s “Desh,” an
Indian raga and lullaby arranged for chorus; Eric Whitacre’s “Sleep,”
an enchanting immersion into the precipice between waking and sleeping;
and György Ligeti’s “Éjszaka” (Night) and “Reggel” (Morning), both
unconventional and charming explorations of evening’s solitude and
morning’s vigor. There will be a light reception after the concert.
Admission is free and open to the public.
