Matthew Brady, conductor 

Anita Castiglione, piano

Join us for an inspiring evening of choral excellence as Dr. Matthew Brady and Frost Chorale combine with the region's most talented high school vocalists for a powerful musical experience featuring the music and musical leadership of acclaimed composer and lyricist, Jennifer Lucy Cook! Cook specializes in music for the stage and screen, choral work, and pop songwriting.

Despite writing music in such a wide range of genres, Jen’s music is united by a keen love for storytelling with song. She prioritizes specific, highly emotional lyrics, melodic earworms, and infectious rhythmic grooves, and conceives of every piece from a dramatic, narrative-driven perspective.

The concert will feature the Frost Chorale in a program entitled “Shades of Light”. Musical gems by Cook, Poulenc, Haydn, Ešenvalds, O’Regan and more are woven into to a program that considers aspects of darkness and light. Be moved. Be inspired. Witness the future of choral music.
