Concert 3:
Sacred soundscapes that look to the heavens — Beyond the Stars features Josef Rheinberger’s luminous Mass for Double Choir, paired with the transcendent anthems of William H. Harris and a rich selection of a cappella works exploring themes of eternity, remembrance and the soul’s journey beyond.
