2024 Season
EcoVoice Season 2024
The seasons of our lives, our earth, are cyclical.
The EcoVoice Project will continue our seasonal programming schedule with four performances this year: Mass Reimagined for Earth Day (spring), Summer Solstice Observation (summer), premiere of Dongryul Lee’s Missa Laudato si’ (fall), and our second annual Winter Solstice Observation (winter). Join us as we continue to explore our cyclical connection with the planet in 2024.
Ticket sales will begin soon. Signup for our newsletter for updates. Please donate to support the work of the EcoVP and our 2024 season.

Midwest Premiere of Malhaar: A Requiem for Water

Malhaar: A Requiem for Water represents composer Reena Esmail’s hope that humankind will improve its relationship to the earth and “beckon the rain back”. The piece combines texts from the traditional Latin Requiem mass, environmental writers, and traditional Hindi to explore the beauty and awe of water and humans’ relationship with it.

Building upon the success of our first Winter Solstice Observation in 2023, the EcoVP will once again collaborate with St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and other community organizations to curate an evening of community and warmth on the longest night of the year.
