Join us for an evening of song presented by The Ohio State University Chorus and Women's Glee Club. Colin Knoth (UC) and Jordan Saul (WGC), conductors; Casey L. Cook collaborative pianist.
Resilience — “The capacity to withstand or recover quickly from difficulties.” University Chorus opens the concert with a program about overcoming life’s hardships and growing from its challenges. Across centuries, music has been used to soothe and to comfort, to bring hope and healing, and to provide an expressive outlet of our emotional depth as humans. This program offers music that spans from the 17th century (Heinrich Schütz’s Die mit Tränen säen) to music composed in recent years. Each piece provides a unique perspective on how we overcome challenges we face, using a Psalm text, inspiring poetry by Helen Keller (Andrea Ramsey’s Through the Dark) and William Butler Yeats (Heruth’s When You are Old), and a poem written for a loved one who has passed (Narverud’s Love Never Leaves). In each case, perseverance through hard times is shown to yield great and lasting rewards.
The Women’s Glee Club present Kim André Arnesen's Magnificat — a stunning and deeply moving work of contemporary choral music. This special performance is not just a concert — it is a milestone moment, as the ensemble prepares to bring this masterpiece to the legendary Carnegie Hall in May.
Be among the first to hear this work, the artistry of the Glee Club, and powerful storytelling through song. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of an unforgettable musical journey!
This concert is free and open to the public. No ticket required.
