As Oriana completes its 30th anniversary season, we honor where we have been while setting our sights on what’s ahead and also cherishing what inspires us. Join us for an eclectic program including works by Eric Whitacre, Ola Gjeilo, Igor Stravinsky, Veljo Tormis, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Heinrich Schütz, Carol Barnett, and the ethereal “Mass for double choir” by Frank Martin.
