Voices of Connection: 10/21 A world premiere for a world premiere

In 2019, Voices of Ascension commissioned composer and ensemble member Bora Yoon to write a new work for the chorus. She responded with “Infinite Light,” a beautiful two-part piece with texts by Sufi mystic poets Rumi and Hafiz. In this world premiere performance of the second part, “Light Will Someday Split You Open,” the gloriously rich choral sound makes Bora’s piece feel, even on first hearing, warm, familiar, and illuminating. – Wende Persons, Voices of Ascension Board Member


Tonight we present another new work from Bora Yoon as part of the in-person world premiere of Astronautica: Voices of Women in Space. Tickets are still available. Join us!
