Chasing Light

Led by guest conductor Daniela Candillari, the Festival's second concert of the season features works by all-female composers. Rene Orth's "Chasing Light" spotlights the courage required to outrun our shadows, while Stacy Garrop's world premiere, featuring baritone Sidney Outlaw and soprano Michelle Areyzaga, explores Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony's dynamic and complex friendship. Aleksandra Vrebalov's "This Kiss for the Whole World" represents love and solidarity despite hardship, and Julia Wolfe's "Pretty" upends and refracts society's complicated conception of feminine beauty.
