Songs of Promise

with Sarah Joanne Davis, soprano and Brian Ming Chu, baritone

The music of Jewish-American composers reveals both the promise and the challenge of the human experience: a people yearning for deliverance, a lover calling for the beloved, a traveler longing for home and family. Explore what it means to be gloriously human, with world and local premieres performed by the virtuoso Network for New Music Ensemble and stellar guest artists.
