Cantate Chamber Singers, joined by string quartet and piano, explore themes of compassion and hope in the face of injustice. Caroline Shaw’s To the Hands addresses immigrant crises. Based on a Jewish service, Alex Berko’s Sacred Place “is an ecological service that connects the old with the new, the sacred with the secular, and the individual with their community,” according to the composer. The program is completed by two stunning works from Ola Gjeilo.
