Unexpected News is made possible by our Concert Partners, The Mielke Family Foundation and Dennis Reimer & Jeanie Kurka Reimer.
From our conductor: Sometimes we’re unprepared for news, especially a life-changing diagnosis. When I learned that I had Parkinson’s Disease, I realized I knew little about this disease, dug in to learn what this disease is about, and attempted to learn what this diagnosis would mean for my musical future. Come along on this personal journey as we present thought-provoking choral works that allow us to educate and bring awareness to this growing disease. This will be an inspirational presentation in search of hope, and healing. This is my story. My news.
Joining us for this concert will be our High School Master Singers, a select group of high school singers from area schools.
