SUMMARY:Homecoming Concert: Familiar Sights and New Horizons
DESCRIPTION:Familiar Sights and New Horizons \nJuly 19–August 2\, 2026 \nMarking our nation’s 250th anniversary\, this program celebrates the rich yet comforting sounds of American roots choral music. Twenty-four professional vocalists from across the country will unite to perform fresh compositions by Shawn Kirchner\, Moira Smiley\, and Shavon Lloyd. These celebrated composers\, known for their masterful blending of classical choral traditions with American folk influences\, will explore themes of community and belonging. Piano\, violin\, and cello join the Desert Chorale for Alex Berko’s Sacred Place. This moving piece interweaves the structure of a Jewish service with environmental texts\, reflecting on the beautiful world we call home. Rounding out this program is the premiere of Cranes Coming Home by emerging composer Taja Astar\, winner of Chicago a cappella’s HerVoice competition. Find your own sense of home within this inspiring evening.

SUMMARY:Homecoming Concert: Familiar Sights and New Horizons
DESCRIPTION:Familiar Sights and New Horizons \nJuly 19–August 2\, 2026 \nMarking our nation’s 250th anniversary\, this program celebrates the rich yet comforting sounds of American roots choral music. Twenty-four professional vocalists from across the country will unite to perform fresh compositions by Shawn Kirchner\, Moira Smiley\, and Shavon Lloyd. These celebrated composers\, known for their masterful blending of classical choral traditions with American folk influences\, will explore themes of community and belonging. Piano\, violin\, and cello join the Desert Chorale for Alex Berko’s Sacred Place. This moving piece interweaves the structure of a Jewish service with environmental texts\, reflecting on the beautiful world we call home. Rounding out this program is the premiere of Cranes Coming Home by emerging composer Taja Astar\, winner of Chicago a cappella’s HerVoice competition.
