Event Series Bel Canto Company: “Muse”

Bel Canto Company: “Muse”

Ebenezer Lutheran Church 1905 Walker Ave., Greensboro, NC, United States

The opening concert of Bel Canto Company’s 42nd Season! When the soul of a poet or musician finds its voice, their muse speaks through evocative, stirring, and exquisitely beautiful compositions. The opening concert of Bel Canto Company’s 42nd  Season weaves a tapestry of inspiring and moving selections by Jake Runestad, Florence Price, Daniel Elder, Edie Hill and more. From the writings of Henry David Thoreau, Runestad’s “Reflections” reminds us of the essential value of seizing opportunities and living fully without sacrificing the vital wellspring of introspection and reflection. Borrowing from the writings of Rumi, a thirteenth-century Sufi mystic, Daniel Elder expresses the power of divine love with “In Your Light.” Edie Hill’s “Clay Jug” asserts that “inside this clay jug there are mountains, valleys, oceans, jewels,” and “If you want the truth…the God whom I love is inside.” Join us for a celebration of the beauty of existence and find your muse! $30 General Admission; $25 Seniors; $10 College Students; $5 High School Students and Younger
