$Napervoice\u2019s Fall Concert \u201cGather in Gratitude 3: Everything Sings!\u201d$

The third in our annual offering of Gather In Gratitude concerts just before the Thanksgiving holiday includes a variety of new repertoire for this performance from classical, folk, jazz, and musical theater genres. Selections will not only reflect our thanks for the land, the heavens, the waters, and all living things through great poetry and music, but also how aspects of the universe serve as metaphor and guide for the events of our daily life as well.
Composers represented include Johannes Brahms, Aaron Copland, Ola Gjeilo, Elizabeth Alexander, Dan Forrest, Craig Hella Johnson, and Gwynneth Walker.
Our Guest Ensemble for this concert is Spectrum Youth Singers, Plainfield's premiere community youth choir. A talented local high school cellist will also accompany NaperVoice on two choral works and present a cello solo.
🎟️ tickets available at napervoice.org or at the door for a slightly higher charge. We have sold out every concert so we recommend you grab your tickets in advance!
