In a House Besieged, March 25 - 27
Join us on tour this month with debut concerts in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, followed by our homecoming at St. Mark's Church, Philadelphia, as we reconnect with our longtime friend and resident organist Scott Dettra for a program of works for choir and organ. Anchored by a world premiere from Stacy Garrop on the short stories of Lydia Davis with additional works for choir and organ by Lansing McLoskey and Arvo Pärt.

In a House Besieged fuses allegory and metaphor into an extraordinarily unique libretto reflecting the fear and anxiety around the aging process. We see our homes and the world around us crumble and decay with time; can we admit that our bodies and minds will do the same?  
Stacy Garrop, In a House Besieged (world premiere)
Lansing McLoskey, The Memory of Rain (from The Month of Moderns 2010)
Arvo Pärt, Salve Regina
