Upon These Shores

Upon These Shores explores resilience and cultural convergence through Jessie Montgomery’s Banner. Composer-in-Residence Ben Shirley is featured in a new work for string quartet and orchestra with Columbus’s own Carpe Diem String Quartet. The program also includes Franz Waxman’s Sinfonietta, Derek Bermel’s A Shout, a Whisper, and a Trace, and selections from Leonard Bernstein’s iconic West Side Story. Visual ethnographer Tariq Tarey brings immigrant stories into dialogue through compelling photography. We are honored to partner with the Worthington Resource Pantry for this concert.
