From Mystery to Majesty


Picture
Mark your calendar for Saturday, December 13 or Sunday, December 14 to enjoy a dynamic choral repertoire that bridges cultures, languages, and musical styles. ”From Mystery to Majesty,” conducted by Artistic Director Joseph To, features performances by the full choir as well as Magnolia Chamber Singers, Tenor/Bass Choir, and Treble Choir. 

It starts with the majestic exuberance of Francis Poulenc’s joyful and majestic masterpiece, Gloria with its bold harmonies and dramatic contrasts. As the second half opens, Javier Busto’s “O Magnum Mysterium” transitions to a tone of hushed mystery and introspective meditation on the mystery of the nativity. “O Love” by Elaine Hagenberg, delves deeper into the spaces where sorrow meets grace, capturing the healing power of divine love. And Hyo-won Woo’s haunting arrangement of “Arirang” continues in that vein, evoking a deep longing for home, while weaving in threads of hope and togetherness.
​
Then the mood lightens, as the pulsing joy of “Baba Yetu” by Christopher Tin fuses African rhythms with Western harmony to leave audiences uplifted and inspired.
