Join us for a musical odyssey that celebrates our awe-inspiring natural world. Be transported to the wild and untouched landscapes of the Arctic with Stephen Lias' evocative Gates of the Arctic, a musical journey through the icy expanse. Then, lose yourself in the mystic allure of Alan Hovhaness' Mysterious Mountain, a symphonic masterpiece exploring nature's sublime mysteries. Feel the spiritual resonance in Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, a harmonious blend of ancient texts and modern melodies brought to life by the Lancaster Symphony Chorus. Finally, revel in the heartwarming music from Aaron Copland's pastoral Suite from The Tender Land.
