“Directed by Sarah Dupre, the Acorn MusEcology Project is 20-voice choral ensemble sharing music that explores our collective role as caretakers in our relationship with the Earth, with our animal and plant brethren, and living systems—toward the rediscovery, healing, and reimagining of a vibrant planet beyond our own time. In our 2023 fall concert series, we pair songs sharing a common subject or lyricist, with original and selected settings of poems by Kim Stafford, Kathleen Lynch, Jane Kenyon, Dana Gioia, and Terry Tempest Williams. Join us for a musical conversation featuring magpies and marsh grasses, foxes and field mice, toy pianos and whale songs.
The program (one hour-fifteen minutes, with no intermission) will be preceded by complementary refreshments and sunset colors on the beautiful Heron Hall patio overlooking the Laguna.”
