But There Is This 
explores our journey through life and our quest for meaning, even when it remains elusive. In works by 
Corigliano
, 
Mustonen
, 
Yoshimatsu
, and 
Shostakovich,
 fragments of themes and ideas emerge over time, slowly and imperfectly revealing themselves as part of a larger whole. Each piece takes us on a journey through extreme emotions which are rarely resolved, challenging us to perceive beauty in the small details that make up our lives, even when the whole remains unclear. This program reminds us, in the words of Barabara Ras, that “there is the voice you can still summon at will, like your mother’s/it will always whisper, you can’t have it all, but there is this.”
Friday, April 25 at 7:00 pm (doors 6:30 PM), approximately 90-minutes.
There is a $3 ticket surcharge on the day of the performance.
