Through transparent textures and extended musical architecture, we invite sustained listening and inward reflection. Featuring Gregory Spears’ sustained meditation on modernity for chorus and string quartet, The Tower and the Garden, with works of Tõnu Kõrvits, Derrick Skye, and Kile Smith.

At times
a worksong twirls down the autumn leaf of a
‍ ‍phrase, but mostly
‍ ‍we catch
only the harsher sounds of their labor itself
