About this Event
Immerse yourself in a mesmerizing journey through song as the FIU Choirs present "A Day’s Journey: Songs of Sun, Sky, and Shadows." This performance, under the masterful direction of Dr. Alicia Romero-Sardiñas and Dr. Erynn Millard, features a rich tapestry of choral works that explore the beauty and complexity of the human experience through the lens of nature and light.
The evening highlights the ethereal sounds of Faure’s "In Paradisum" and "Libera Me" from his Requiem, performed by the Combined Choirs. These pieces set a contemplative tone, evoking a sense of peace and reflection. Then, the FIU University Singers will uplift your spirits with Craig Hella Johnson's "Light of a Clear Blue Morning," the delicate "Erev Shel Shoshanim" by Joseph Hadar, the nostalgic "Only in Sleep" by Eriks Esenvalds, and the lively "Oh Watch the Stars" by Moira Smiley.
The Concert Choir will take you on an emotional journey with a selection of masterpieces including Elaine Hagenberg’s "Awake My Soul," Eric William Barnum’s "Afternoon on a Hill," Brahms’ serene "In Stiller Nacht," and Morten Lauridsen’s radiant "Sure on This Shining Night." The concert culminates with Esenvalds’ "Stars" and Finzi’s joyful "My Spirit Sang All Day," leaving you inspired and awestruck by the power of choral music.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience a breathtaking evening of music that captures the essence of day and night, light and shadow. Join us for a concert that promises to be a highlight of the season, showcasing the extraordinary talents of FIU's choral ensembles.
