Description

Music Heals the Soul! Times like these have tested us in so many ways - the risks many of us face every day, our way of life upended, unrest and injustice in society, and waves of loss and grief around the world. When we feel battered and at our wits’ end, sometimes all we can do is walk on, one step and one day at a time. This program takes us through a search for hope even as we feel at our lowest, surrounded by darkness but following a slender ray of hope. Featuring: Ling-Ju Lai, piano Kristina Bachrach, soprano Alexander Hahn, bass Ellen Hwangbo, piano PROGRAM Selections for Voice and Piano by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, John Musto, and others Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 Location Information The concert will be held at a private home in Potomac, Maryland. To protect the privacy of our generous hosts, the full address will be provided in your confirmation email after purchasing your ticket. The event will be held indoors. COVID VACCINATION REQUIRED: Our top priority is the health of our performers and guests, so we and our concert host are asking that all attendees be fully vaccinated against COVID. Thank you so much for helping to keep our community safe! About Constellations Constellations, as they make their seasonal dance across the night sky, reflect our instinctive desire to seek out patterns and craft stories to explain the world around us.  Constellations Chamber Concerts' core philosophy is to explore and celebrate these patterns in music: between genres, works, composers, generations, and the performers on stage, approaching music old and new with the same fresh perspective. We are a newly-formed chamber music concert series, planning our inaugural season of concerts starting in Fall 2021 in Washington, DC.  Your support at this critical early stage helps us turn our vision into one-of-a-kind musical experiences here in the nation's capital.
