Moira Smiley

Wild Things is a harmonic meditation on the beauty of the natural world. For this concert, we will be joined by singer/composer, wild woman extraordinaire, Moira Smiley, who has arranged and recorded many of her beloved heart-forward songs for choir and string quartet. Premiering this concert is a piece by Jody Redhage-Ferber, NY based cellist, composer, and friend, who has set Wendell Berry’s poem, The Peace of Wild Things, for choir and string quartet. Other pieces on the program include the unbelievably beautiful Earth Song by Frank Ticheli, and two excerpts for choir, percussion and hammered dulcimer from Malcolm Dalglish’s Hymnody of Earth.
