Choral music for the season and the times

Music for this May Evening

Spring is a time of rebirth and regeneration, but the events of this spring have highlighted the many divisions in our country and world right now.

Join Musica Sacra as we welcome in this spring with works depicting the natural wonders of the season and also with heartfelt pleas to consider our commonalities from such diverse voices as a 19th century Moravian preacher and a 20th century South African folksong.
