2016 A Certain Slant of Light

Theres a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes

When it comes, the Landscape listens
Shadows hold their breath.

Emily Dickinson

Echoes of starlight illuminate water-tuned glasses in Latvian composer Eriks Eenvalds' Stars. The light plays tricks on our perception of the season in Ernst Bacon's Winter Afternoons. Haydns scintillating eighteenth-century Missa Sancti Aloysii interlaces with a secular centerpiece setting of Ron Jeffers' Whitman "Credo."

The light in Dale Trumbores Flare races through each mundane aspect of life as we know it, bursting with energy as it urges and spurs on the very forces of nature. The piece was co-commissioned by the PWC in 2012.

Lend your voice to our holiday sing-along set, and be surrounded by the luminous harmonies of Biebls Ave Maria.
