From the irresistible pulse of Piazzolla’s Libertango to the architectural clarity of Hindemith\, the meditative timelessness of Pärt’s Fratres\, the playful energy of Lauren Bernofsky’s Blue Monkey\, and the lyrical warmth of Elaine Fine’s Trio\, each work offers a distinct musical voice while exploring the many ways instruments can listen\, respond\, challenge\, and inspire one another. Spanning nearly a century of musical styles\, the program reveals how composers with remarkably different musical languages all found compelling ways to transform conversation into sound. \nAstor Piazzolla | Libertango \nHindemith | Sonata for Viola and Piano Op. 11 No. 4 \nArvo Pärt | Fratres \nLauren Bernofsky | Blue Monkey \nElaine Fine | Trio for Violin\, Viola\, and piano \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Details\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				October 6\, 20267:30 p.m. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Price\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Free Entry \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nLuth Concert HallPrior Performing Arts Center

SUMMARY:Holy Cross Wind Ensemble Concert | Nightfall
DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Nightfall\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Holy Cross Wind Ensemble\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nThe Holy Cross Wind Ensemble presents Nightfall\, a concert inspired by the changing season and the transition from day into night. As October gives us darker evenings\, the program takes listeners through autumn landscapes\, shifting light\, and imaginations running wild. \nAutumn is a season of change. The brilliant colors of fall in New England gradually give way to bare branches and longer nights\, creating a landscape that is stark\, reflective\, and mysterious. \nThe program begins in the warmth of the season with works such as Julie Giroux’s Bookmarks from Japan and Percy Grainger’s Irish Tune from County Derry. Eric Whitacre’s October captures the character of autumn itself\, evoking the feelings of the season through rich musical colors. \nAs the evening unfolds\, the music moves toward twilight\, mystery\, and darkness. Eric Whitacre’s Ghost Train draws upon American folklore and the imagination that emerges after nightfall. Together\, these works trace a path from daylight into night and from autumn toward winter\, exploring the beauty and mystery that accompany this seasonal transition. \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Details\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				October 23\, 20267:30 p.m. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Price\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Free Entry \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nLuth Concert HallPrior Performing Arts Center

DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Holy Cross Choir\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				with guest composer Tõnu Kõrvits\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Funded by The Patrick E. Moriarty\, M.D. ’57 Visiting Scholars Program\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nThe Holy Cross College Choir will be performing a program of music from Scandinavia and the Baltics\, featuring Kreek’s Notebook by Award-winning Estonian composer Tõnu Kõrvits. \nEstonia has a rich tradition of choral music. The country plays host to the Estonian Song Festival\, which started in 1869 and currently runs every five years\, is one of the largest singing festivals in the world\, welcoming over 100\,000 people coming together to unite in song. Kreek’s Notebook celebrates the rich heritage of Estonian Choral Music through the use of native folk hymns collected by ethnomusicologist Cyrillus Kreek (1889–1962). Korvits weaves sacred folk hymns and texts collected by Kreek into his own distinct musical language. A multi-movement work for string orchestra and choir\, Kreek’s Notebook synthesizes traditional melodies with thrilling avant-garde string writing\, inviting the listener into moments of spiritual contemplation and visceral passion. \nAdditional works on the program include music by Arvo Pärt\, Veljo Tormis\, Algirdas Martinaitis\, and Laura Jekabsone. \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Details\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				October 25\, 20263 p.m. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Price\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Free Entry\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nSt. Joseph Memorial Chapel
