Eternal Light features two monumental choral works performed with award-winning organist Jerrick Cavangaro: Louis Vierne’s Messe solennelle and Morten Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna. Between these two pillars, Coro presents Ilyas Iliya’s Avoonan Dbishmayya, an evocative a cappella setting of the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic. Join us for an afternoon of music that kindles hope, honors beauty, and offers light in dark times.

And Still They Vanish is a powerful, unflinching meditation on memory, identity, and injustice. The concert features James Whitbourn’s Annelies, a deeply moving oratorio based on The Diary of Anne Frank, written by a Jewish teenager in hiding during WWII. In a time marked by the rise of authoritarianism, unwarranted identity-based arrests, and the erosion of civil liberties, Annelies serves as both a memorial and a wake-up call. Join us for an afternoon of remembrance and resistance—music that refuses to forget.

Our final concert, Luminous Rescue: Psalms of Protest and Reconciliation, features three extraordinary American works: Leonard Bernstein’s exuberant Chichester Psalms, Charles Ives’ visionary Psalm 90, and Patricia Van Ness’ radiant Psalms of Luminous Rescue. Together, these settings give voice to the cry for deliverance from violence and oppression, and the hope for reconciliation in a broken world.
