In celebration of the solar eclipse, we are proud to announce the upcoming premiere of Justin Lapierre’s One Thousand Shields of Gold!
After 2024, we will not experience another total solar eclipse in our part of the world for over a century; this new choral work meditates on what our Earth will have become by that time.
Paired with Justin’s new work is Fauré’s Requiem, a musical depiction of the “flight of the soul to heaven” that explores the interplay between light and dark.
Mark your calendars for 1 and 2 June to celebrate and reflect upon this monumental event with both new and old music!

Ben Wallace, conductor
