The Turning: From Stillness to Song

The Turning follows the natural arc of winter yielding to spring, and darkness giving way to light. As the days grow longer and new life begins to emerge in nature, we experience a parallel season of renewal and awakening. This concert moves from introspection toward reemergence, exploring the quiet power of transformation. Music by Paulus, Hella Johnson, Grieg, Beach, and others becomes a vehicle for reflection, growth, and the many dimensions of seasonal and spiritual awakening.
