We welcome the transition to autumn with music centered around light and color. The centerpiece of the program, Joshua Shank’s Color Madrigals, is a setting of six poems by John Keats, each featuring a different color from the spectrum. The change of light in autumn can be seen in the natural world, as depicted in Jacob Narverud’s August, and commonly evokes nostalgia and the passing of time as reflected in Stephen Paulus’s The Road Home. Closing the program is Kevin Siegfried's At the Water's Edge based on text by Sarah Orne Jewett and depicts the beautiful and peaceful landscape of the New England coast.

Ring in the holidays with our annual performance of early American music from Appalachia and New England. Powerful, rousing shapenote tunes and lively Shaker songs bring the cheer of Christmas to life. These uniquely American music traditions are part of a vibrant cultural heritage, passed down through oral traditions, singing schools, and community practice. Shaker and shapenote music beautifully showcase the simple power of communal singing – in fact, the most common shapenote book, the Sacred Harp, is named after that sacred musical instrument given to us at birth: the human voice. Join Radiance for this festive, joyful celebration!

The program features two large works for choir and organ by American composer Nico Muhly. Our Present Charter celebrates the sealing in 1215 of the Magna Carta in four movements and Bright Mass with Canons pays homage to traditional English choral music through Muhly’s own take on the sound world of Tudor music and Herbert Howells. Connecting Muhly’s pieces is a setting of the Beatitudes by Arvo Pärt which Muhly also set as the third movement in Our Present Charter.
