This event is free and open to the public. Songs of Resilience and American Voices pairs Sheila Silver’s newly composed Songs of Resilience with vocal music by American composers spanning a variety of styles and traditions. Conceived in response to contemporary world events, Silver’s cycle reflects themes of resistance, courage, compassion, and hope through newly commissioned texts written specifically for the project. Together with works by other American composers, the program celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of song to inspire reflection, connection, and humanity.
