alive:/what a strange thing!/In cherry blossom shade.” Also on the program are Joan Szymko’s setting of text by Audre Lorde (“When I dare…”), She Who Makes Her Meaning Clear; Hilliard and Boresi’s
Madrigals for the Information Age; Karl Jenkins’ Adiemus; and works by Rosephanye Powell, Gwyneth Walker, Carole King, Malcolm Dalglish, Beethoven’s Wig, and the Isely Brothers.
