The Singers Announces 2021-2022 Season: LET OUR LOVE BE HEARD

The Singers, led by Artistic Director Matthew Culloton, announces their 2021-2022 season, Let our Love Be Heard.

The season launches in October with Music in the Park, returning to live performances in both outdoor and indoor locations, followed by the beloved What Sweeter Music Christmas performances in December. 2022 brings two marquee concerts: Dale Warland at 90, a Legacy Celebration at Orchestra Hall March 13, honors the celebrated career of Minnesota's choral icon on the eve of his 90th Birthday.

The choir will perform some of Dale's favorite works and share the world premiere of Changed By Beauty by Composer-in-Residence Timothy C. Takach. This new score has been commissioned to honor Dale, and sets the poetry of Brian Newhouse, himself an alum of the Dale Warland Singers.

In May, the choir presents composer Craig Hella Johnson's Considering Matthew Shepard, a powerful musical response to the murder of Matthew Shepard, described by the Washington Post as "powerfully cathartic, it leads us from horror and grief to a higher understanding of the human condition, enabling us to endure." An on-line digital series, Valentine's Gala, The Singers' Vault podcast, and the release of the choir's new recording, Come To the Woods, round out the season's events.
