Festival Resident Ensemble Quorum is joined by composers in residence Evan Chambers and Roshanne Etezady, guest composer Joseph Koykkar, mezzo-soprano soloist Patricia Green, guest conductor William Weidrich and guest ensemble Trio Piacere for an exciting evening of new works and old favorites. Highlights of this evening will include the Mid-West premiere of Imagination of Their Hearts, an original and daring work of sensuous lyricism by Hungarian-American composer Kati Agocs. You will hear the sweet and soulful voice of Evan Chambers as he sings selections from The Burying Ground - sweet songs with text taken from ancient gravestones in Ireland. The directness and unique sound of Wisconsin composer Joseph Koykkar can be heard in his Double Take, and Quorum's signature sound can be heard in Roshanne Etezady's recent work, Mother of Pearl.
