LISTEN! is not only the title of this concert—it is an invitation and an insistence. We are charged to listen to this rich collection of songs with more than ears: to listen with empathy, memory, and presence. A diverse group of composers and poets is united by a central idea: song as a conduit for the unspeakable, the personal, the painful, and the transcendent.
