Mosaic for Earth coming to Virginia Tech

The Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts and Blacksburg Master Chorale present Dwight Bigler’s new composition, Mosaic for Earth.

Two hundred and fifty musicians from Virginia Tech and across the region will fill the stage to perform this world premiere, which includes lyrics by leading environmental authors, visual arts projections designed by Virginia Tech’s David Franusich, and stunning illuminations by Barbara Wolff, Psalm 104: You Renew the Face of the Earth.

This new work celebrates the wonders of nature and explores humanity’s impact on the environment and responsibility towards it. The concert will feature special guest soloists Danielle Talamantes (Virginia Tech alumna and Metropolitan Opera soprano), Jami Rhodes (mezzo soprano), Isaac Hurtado (tenor), and Christopher Holmes (baritone).

The performance is Sunday, April 3, at 7 p.m. at the Moss Arts Center in the Anne and Ellen Fife Theater.  Tickets can be purchased at the Moss Arts Center or online at www.tickets.artcenter.vt.edu/Online/seatSelect.asp.
