A series of 14 meditative choral statements alternates with medieval dialogues between the inhabitants of a village and the omnipresent figure of Death, along with his plaintive violin. The concert will also feature Brahms’s motet “Warum ist das Licht gegeben.” For more information or to order tickets, please visitwww.resonancechoral.org. Please note that free tickets will be made available to Lewis & Clark students the week of the concert. 8:00 p.m., Agnes Flanagan Chapel.
