As part of the second annual Katherine L. White Invitational Choral Festival, the Vashon Island Chorale sings music inspired by two great poets. Island composer Bill Wood brings a suite of pithy songs on texts of Emily Dickinson. And the twentieth-century American giant Samuel Barber celebrates the poetry of Pablo Neruda with a large-scale work with orchestra, The Lovers. We also present the world premiere of a new work by Chorale singer Beverly Reil, in commemoration of the Lahaina wildfire of 2023. Don't miss this concert of vibrant, lusty, introspective, and heartfelt music.

Tickets go on sale in February 2025 and are available through VashonCenterForTheArts.org.
