Heartland
Voices’ ninth season ends with many firsts. The
final program, From Colombia to Canada – Eh!,
includes a world premiere, new celebrity narrators,
and music from foreign lands.
The
Heartland Voices will debut Timothy C. Takach’s work
entitled To Live Forever. Mr. Takach
found inspiration for the work, commissioned to
celebrate the Heartland Voices’ ninth season , in
the words of Frances Hodges Burnett and her
well-known children’s story, The Secret Garden.
A reception for Mr. Takach will follow the June 1
concert – come and meet the composer!
Guest
narrators will enhance Randall Thompson’s The
Testament of Freedom, A Setting of Four Passages
from the Writings of Thomas Jefferson. Although
Heartland Voices has hosted guest narrators in the
past, these concerts will feature new celebrity
voices: the president of Elgin Community College,
Dr. David Sam, at the May 17 performance and
Schaumburg mayor Al Larson at the June 1
performance.
As the name
implies, Heartland Voices’ program From Colombia
to Canada – Eh, will also feature musical
selections from other countries – not surprisingly –
from Colombia and Canada.
