Please join us for an evening of ‘A Cappella’ (which means ‘in the style of the chapel’, but that’s another bit of trivia) music spanning over 400 years – from 1572 to 2024! You’ll hear music from composers who are long-dead (Tomas Luis de Victoria wrote “O Quam Gloriosum” – ‘Oh how glorious’ in 1572) to the still-living (Scott Larrabee and Harry Heightman are composing and arranging in 2024 – so far, anyway). Prepare to hear the sublime – “Ave Verum Corpus” (Byrd), “If Ye Love Me (Tallis), “Alleluia” (Thompson), as well as the ridiculous “My Bonny Lass She Smelleth” (P.D.Q. Bach), and several in-between (“Lida Rose” from ‘The Music Man’). Choose from two performances – or attend both! – each at 7PM but at two different venues – Friday May 10 (Mt. Tabor Lutheran Church, 200 South 700 East, Salt Lake City, 84102) and Saturday May 18 (St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, 1375 E. Spring Lane, Holladay). We will dress up but you can come as you are! Admission is free, no ticket required. Voluntary donations are welcome at the venue. https://jubilatechoirslc.weebly.com/

Called “contemporary chamber trailblazers” by the Boston Globe, Hub New Music is a “nimble quartet of winds and strings” (NPR) forging new paths in the 21st-century repertoire. The ensemble’s ambitious commissioning projects and “appealing programs” (New Yorker) celebrate the rich diversity of today’s classical music landscape. Founded in 2013, Hub New Music has grown into a formidable touring ensemble-driven by an unwavering dedication to building community through new art. Across its career, Hub has commissioned dozens of new works and continues to usher in a fresh and culturally relevant body of work for its distinct combination of flute, clarinet, violin, and cello. Hub is proud to collaborate with today’s most celebrated emerging and established composers and is equally proud to count many of them as friends. Featured in this performance is the premiere of WHITE OUT a newly commissioned work by composer Nickitas Demos, which will be performed live by Hub New Music while BalletNext brings the composition to life through dynamic and innovative choreography.

The founder of our event was first inspired by the traditional lantern festival in Chiang Mai when he was living in Thailand, and he wanted to bring this community-driven experience to the United States. Alongside local lantern launches, we support local businesses by hiring small food trucks and entertainers, and we feature musical talent because nothing brings people together like a show! For us, these events are about more than just releasing a lantern into the sky, watching for a few minutes, and going home— it's an opportunity to connect with people we'd otherwise never meet, establish intentions and let go of our worries as we decorate our sky lantern, and interact with the traditions of cultures other than our own. At Night Lights, we find that the intention and emotion behind each participant's lantern is an intimate decision. Each lantern's meaning is unique and equally important, which is why we include a marker so each participant can make their lantern their own. Thousands of Night Lighters write their stories on the spines of our sky lanterns and create memories that will last a lifetime, whether it be an engagement, a family milestone, or the remembrance of a loss. You’ll see people cry, pose, pop the question, and celebrate under the lantern-lit skies. You’ll hear joyous laughter and squeals of glee as lanterns are carried together in epic waves of love and light. This is a community event for everyone. Event dates in Spring '24 are May 24 and May 25. Learn more at https://www.nightlightsevent.com
