Through our presentation of the diverse repertoire in this program, we encourage our audience to embrace music as a form of communication and as a way to better understand their world. Our program addresses many complex and current issues, and our audience will be engaged and encouraged to start a dialogue to explore these issues on their own. The arts are a reflection of our humanity; as the title of the event indicates, this program explores the symptoms of being human from a variety of perspectives.
Music has the power to draw attention to real and significant issues in our world and allows both performers and audiences to engage with them in deep and meaningful ways which surpass the limits of written communication. Our hope is that the audience will leave this event feeling enriched, satisfied, and with a little better understanding of what it means to be human.
