Tina Johns Heidrich, Conductor

Our program features the works of Dan Forrest. "LUX: The Dawn From On High" is the third major work by this prolific composer. Written in 2018, it is filled with the beautiful harmonies, profound texts, and uplifting vocals that characterize his compositions. Lux is the Latin word for light and this evocation of shimmering light, unconditional love, deep peace, and heavenly bliss is classical composition at its best!

Dr. Forrest was in his 30s when Ms. Heidrich first heard his music and introduced it to the Chorale. The group was amazed by the maturity and beauty of his compositions and the creativity of his arrangements and has performed many of them since that first time.

Other works on this all Dan Forrest program are "The Music of Living", "I Thank You God", "Light Beyond Shadow", and a set of 3 Hallelujah Psalms. The glorious music of this versatile and creative composer reflects his overall message of gratitude, optimism, hope and joy. The concert will be accompanied by the Connecticut Master Chorale Orchestra and Joseph Jacovino on piano.

Admission to the concert is $20 in advance and $25 at the door. The venue is handicap accessible and doors will open at 2:30.
