The season opens by exploring composers inspired by their deep religious faith. When we consider leading our thoughts and actions with this simple yet powerful commandment – Love Thy Neighbor – we find love really can conquer all. Love is a topic we can all worship!
Since 1865, the KKK has threatened the unity of our country, specifically targeting the voice of our Black citizens. This thought-provoking program will explore works by Black composers that speak to Black heritage as well as rising beyond racism and exclusion — both past and present.
Music’s history includes a long period of time during which works composed by women were not performed in public. We believe a woman’s place is wherever her talent takes her. In honor of Women’s History Month, we are proud to present the inspiring and moving contributions of extraordinary women, including women of color!
American troops are currently enduring the longest war in our nation’s history. Historically, intense times of conflict also cultivate a powerful artistic response. The Ritz Chamber Player’s season finale performance, ‘Make Love Not War’ explores works written to honor both the military service and lives of those impacted by war and conflict.
