Unity in Diversity – Cynthia Wong
We Exist – Oliver Caplan

This concert is the heart and soul of our season Building Bridges. We are not alone but are many diverse beings who need each other for fulfillment.

Commissioned by AVM in honor of its 40th anniversary, “Unity in Diversity” is a song cycle touching on themes which resonate today—nature and destruction, love and unity.

“We Exist” illustrates a beautiful parallel between migration and mankind. The power and awe of one is joined by many as they travel together on their life’s journey. “We exist not to divide, not to blame, not to surrender, but to lift up our arms.”

“LUX: The Dawn From On High” uses ancient liturgical chant, scripture, and modern secular love poetry to portray the hope of the dawn, of light shining in the darkness, of the unconditional light of the sun and the glory of creation.

We thank Webster First Federal Credit Union for sponsoring this concert!
