Resonance Women's Chorus' spring concert, The Light on the Land, is an immersion in the nourishing beauty of the natural world.
"You rise every morning
wondering what in the world will the world bring today?
Will it bring you joy or will it take it away?
And every step you take is guided by
the love of the light on the land
and the blackbird's cry.
You will walk in good company."
--Jane Siberry, The Valley
This concert has been inspired by the writing of Robin Wall Kimmerer in her book, Braiding Sweetgrass. She offers an inspiring framing of the relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world as founded in gift exchange and reciprocity. We also ground this concert in the poetry of Mary Oliver: "...Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things."
The program includes music by brilliant contemporary choral composers including Craig Hella Johnson, Joan Szymko, Jake Runestad, David Brunner, and Ola Gjeilo, as well as singer-songwriters Jane Siberry and Susan Crowe, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and more, with settings of poetry and text by Mary Oliver, Elizabeth Bishop, Wendell Berry, Carl Sandburg, Susan B. Anthony, and Dorothy Walters.
Resonance Women's Chorus is a 125-voice women's community chorus singing contemporary choral music with an emphasis on messages of social awareness. Resonance is directed by Sue Coffee and is based in Boulder, Colorado.
(I am honored to have one of my poems as set to music by Craig Hella Johnson as part of the program.)
