"We believe choral singing is fundamental to the wellbeing of human society and of each human individual. It creates deep and abiding bonds of trust between people—often very quickly and efficiently—while at the same helping us learn to trust ourselves." --Talia Sheehan. Benedict Sheehan’s sublime new oratorio, Akathist, was recorded last fall at New York’s historic Trinity Church with The Choir of Trinity Wall Street, Artefact Ensemble, NOVUS NY and others. The groundbreaking work weaves together medieval chant, Anglo-American hymns, gospel, and jazz – offering a unique perspective on sacred music and a radically constructive response to injustice and evil. Akathist asks us to meet the world’s brokenness with gratitude and healing, and thereby to transform ourselves.

CREATE. Hymns of Embodiment, Ruin, and Rebirth.

“This program is a unique exploration of the mysteries of creativity, of our relationships with one another, and of our connection with the world around us. We invite the audience to immerse themselves in the rich sounds of the human voice, and to join us on a journey of transcending boundaries and connecting with the deep and hidden beauty of life.” - Benedict Sheehan

Join us in Louisville and in Georgetown. Program highlights include Aaron Copland’s monumental In the Beginning, with mezzo-soprano soloist Tynan Davis, as well as music by Caroline Shaw, Trevor Weston, Robin Estrada, Benedict Sheehan, and others.
