World Premiere of Spirit of Light: a celebration in music and song that combines the sacred and the secular in an illuminating new work composed by Tommy Smith.
Inspired by the seasonal iconography of the Star, Three Kings, Christmas Night, Winter Snow and the dawning of Christmas Day, it features settings of poetry by eminently humanitarian writers such as Liz Lochhead, Rainer Maria Rilke, Norman MacCaig, Robert Frost, Franz Wright, Jim Heynen and St. Francis of Assisi. This will be an extraordinary choral and orchestral jazz experience with SNJO, Kurt and Cappella Nova.
