The performance of the two-time Grammy-winning work will feature original artists from the recording including Anonymous 4, Indian Classical singers Roopa Mahadevan and Misha Chowdhury, and singer Ron Ragin. The concert will also feature a selection of pieces by Anonymous 4, known for their "unearthly purity, perfect precision and inviting style" (NPR Music), and beloved classics of the choral repertoire, with works by Mozart, Haydn and John Rutter.

The afternoon’s concert will also feature three cherished works from the choral repertoire: Mozart’s Regina Coeli, K276; Haydn’s magnificent “Te Deum” for Empress Marie Therese; and John Rutter’s splendid Gloria. Eric Johnson and Geoffrey Boers conduct.

Calling All Dawns is a powerful journey of twelve songs in twelve different languages - including Swahili, Mandarin, Hebrew, Irish, and Farsi - all dealing with the themes of life, death and rebirth and carrying a message of unity. Lyrics are drawn from a variety of sources, both sacred and secular: Japanese haiku, Maori proverbs, the Torah, the Bhagavad Gita, and many more, with each song flowing seamlessly into the next. Songs of sorrow, mystery, and hardship reflect the complexity of mortality, while songs of joy, triumph and exultation bring us roaring back to life, beginning the cycle anew.
