Thank you to our reception sponsors ROGERS PARK SOCIAL AND PROVISIONS
The World How Wide invites us to look at our world, how we imagine ourselves in it, and reimagine what’s possible.
Works including Michael Gilbertson’s Cloud Anthem, Dan Forrest’s I thank You God for most this amazing day, Vanessa Lann’s Still Shining, and Mark Butler’s Signs of the Judgement all explore what it means to move boundlessly, to welcome others, to show gratitude, and to reconcile with one another.
Anchored by The World How Wide – a reimagining of Ralph Vaughan Williams’s iconic Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis – this program imagines a world that welcomes, that celebrates, and that seeks out diversity and belonging. We’re delighted to welcome back violinist Khelsey Zarraga and a string octet to collaborate on a work that shows us the world is broader than power.
