March 2027 - the poet sings
Friday, March 19 at 7 p.m.
Saturday, March 20 at 3 p.m.
First Lutheran Church (1100 E. Superior St.)
"the poet sings" explores the creation of light, darkness, storm, still, breath, stars, and more through the eyes of the muse and the composers who reimagined their words through song.
The expressions of Shakespeare, William Blake, Robert Frost, E.E. Cummings, Sara Teasdale, and others, enlivened by the musical voices of Carl Orff, Randall Thompson, Dan Forrest, Elaine Hagenberg, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and more, give life to a new sense of perspective, wonder, and hope that is the essence of creation.

May 2027 - Serenity Mass: Be Still and Know, by David Packa
Saturday, May 1 at 3 p.m.
First Lutheran Church (1100 E. Superior St.)
The Arrowhead Chorale is thrilled to feature a new work by David Packa, who has been our accompanist for 6 years. David received his Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from the University of Wisconsin-Superior, and has been active as an accompanist and collaborative pianist in the area for several years. As a composer, David oeuvre includes instrumental chamber music, with a special affinity for the alto saxophone. Two years ago, David composed a new work for tenor and soprano soli and chamber orchestra of marimba, saxophone, piano, and strings, entitled Serenity Mass: Be Still and Know, which was premiered at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Superior, Wisconsin. The Arrowhead Chorale then commissioned David to revise the work for full chorus. Our performance will be the first of this newly adapted version.
