Program Notes

Lent, the 40-day season of the church calendar beginning on Ash Wednesday, has traditionally been a period of renunciation, repentance, and reflection in preparation for the joy of Easter. The ancient motto to remember our mortality—memento mori—is powerfully communicated in this refrain for the imposition of ashes: “from dust you are, and to dust you shall return.” In a culture obsessed with performance, health, and youth, rare indeed are the opportunities to pon-der our fragility and impermanence. So this Lent, whatever your spiritual journey, may this concert give you both the space to mourn and a reason to hope. —Evan Mazunik
