Description
Choral Arts Northwest presents Alex Berko’s Grammy-nominated Sacred Place, with musical settings of poetry by Wendell Berry, John Muir, and Oregon’s poet laureate, William Stafford. Stafford’s poetry grounds us in the feeling that we belong to the earth, that we are enough: “The earth says have a place, be what that place requires.” This program leans into the ways nature reorients us to be present and expands our heart through expansive horizons. Music by Indigenous composers Sherryl Sewepagaham and Andrew Balfour invite a spirit of listening to the land, caring for the earth, and grateful for its nurture of our minds and hearts.
We are thrilled to feature our longtime collaborative pianist, Serena Chin, on this program!
